Holi Celebration at Workplace
Here is the list of ideas for celebrating and organizing Holi at the workplace:
1. Office Decoration
Holi celebrations at the workplace should commence with office decoration. Do not shy away from adding ribbons, origami, and balloons of vibrant colours in your bays and cabins. Use mini clay pots and ‘kullhhads’ to decorate your desks. Decorate the office entrance with vibrant flowers and rustic antiques representing Indian culture. Place minute paintings in the gallery. Make sure to use environmentally friendly and mess-free decorative items to avoid damage to office property.

2. Graffiti Wall
Set up a canvas at the office reception or entrance for everyone to enjoy. Place colorful bowls in front of it, allowing employees to leave their handprints and write warm messages for their co-workers as a cherished keepsake. Over time, this canvas will transform into a vibrant graffiti wall, bringing personality and charm to your Holi celebrations. For a more polished and lasting display, consider using canvas photo prints for wall art, which can beautifully capture the festive spirit and make a striking addition to your workplace décor.

3. Photo Booth
Holi is an ideal festival for photo ops. Do not miss an opportunity to record your happy moments with the people you spend most of your time with. Set up a fancy photo booth in the most dynamic corner of the office premises. It will be great fun if the booth is placed amidst greenery. Place some funky props, colourful wigs, attractive head gear or hats, and large sunglasses near the booth. Employees can use these items to capture the spirit of the celebration.
4. Nail Bar
Take this moment to go crazy with your nails. Set up a DIY nail bar and let the inner artist take over. Break free from the monotony and dress code of professional life and add all sorts of colours and glitter to your nails. Bring out the nail art junkie in you and match the spirit of the Holi celebration at the workplace.
5. Holi Playlist
The Hindi Cinema Industry has curated ample Holi songs that set the mood for all parties on this day. Create a Holi playlist and dance to the tunes of beautiful melodies cherishing the festival of colour. Shed away any hesitation and shyness and show your dance moves. Dance your heart out with your co-workers and take the celebration to a different level.
6. Dessert Making Competition
Any Indian festival is incomplete without sweets. And the festival of Holi is empty without ‘gujjiyas’. However, eating gujjiya on the festival of colour is a North Indian tradition. Know about desserts from different parts of India with a dessert-making competition during the Holi celebration at the workplace. Prepare your traditional sweets and share them with employees of different regional and cultural backgrounds.
7. Holi Trivia Quiz
After all the dances and songs, all colleagues can sit down and enjoy a trivia session. Questions of the trivia round should include facts about different ways of celebration, myths and stories associated with this day, and food trivia. There should be a token of appreciation for the winning team.
