Hi,
It's okay to celebrate Holi at the office. It should be celebrated at a central place, and only dry powders should be used. The celebration should only involve people who are interested, and more importantly, it should not disturb female staff.

Hi,
We also do activities for Holi in our office. You can organize it with some snacks, gulal, etc., but do this outside the working area in the evening so that everybody can go home afterward. You can also organize games or quizzes.

I would suggest giving away sweets or chocolates to the employees that they can share with their family and loved ones. You can also do a luck dip sort of a thing with 4-5 gifts. If you wish, you can organize some food/snacks at the office but don't forget thandai (I hope I spelled it right).... Also, put chandan ka Tilak for everyone if you don't want messy colors in the office.... HAPPY HOLI!!!!!!!!!! :D

You could come a bit early to the office and arrange a thali with various colors. As other employees begin coming in, wish them and apply colorful tikas on their forehead. In the evenings, you could also play. People usually don't mind safe gulal and are sportive :)

Hi,
I think you can have some events/competitions organized like Rangoli competition, or the most colorful dress/attire competition, graffiti, face painting, etc., related to colors, which will not spoil the workplace culture and also serve the purpose of the festival. This can end with distributing sweets amongst employees!

Hi,
Thank you all so much for the suggestions. Here is what we did.
We had a competition on who decorates his/her workplace in the most colorful manner without being messy (we picked the best and gave out a gift). We initially thought of Antakshari but, on popular demand, ended up with Dumbsherads.
We also had a small celebration with cake cutting and wrapped up with all of us leaving our colorful handprints (and also signing against them) on a couple of poster papers which we intend to leave on the office wall for some time.

As per what I think, Holi should be kept outside the office. It would unnecessarily break the office decorum. I am not against Holi, but I usually don't encourage such practices. The rest is up to you.

Dear Roopa Reddy,
You shall celebrate it in many ways. Buy some sweets and distribute them to all employees because Holi is a day of sweets and colors. Again, don't use liquid colors; use only normal color powders. Please don't disturb any employees who are not interested in playing Holi. You can arrange for some dance because dance would be a good welcome.
Take lots of snaps after the festival with colors on and send them to all employees who participated. Have a rangoli competition in groups if you have enough space. Keep a lucky dip. Take a bowl and write 30 activities on paper, then roll them out. Play passing the ball, and those who get stuck have to pick one from the bowl and do that activity.
Make sure you don't miss the fun with a frame of behavior... ;)
