Hi Sir,
As we can't use colors in corporates, especially in IT companies, as it may interrupt the data and may also be harmful to computers.
As Holi is the festival of colors, and we get to see different colors all around us, liberty should be given to employees to come in different dresses. The employee with the most colors in their dress should be given a prize.
One more thing, in the past, Holi was not a festival of colors; it was celebrated in the event of the triumph of truth as Holika burned.
According to legend, Hiranya Kashyap, the demon who ruled over 'Sapta Dweep,' believed himself to be more powerful than God. He planned to kill his youngest son Prahlad, an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu, after Prahlad refused to worship him as God. Holika, the demon's sister who had a boon that she would never burn in fire, agreed to enter the burning pyre with Prahlad in her lap but ended up getting burnt herself. Holi thus signifies the victory of good over evil and is celebrated with grand festivities all over India, especially in the Braj area, where it is celebrated with great joy and fervor.
Holi became the festival of colors during the era of Lord Krishna.
It is believed that Lord Krishna, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu in human form, played Holi with the gopis (cowherd maids) in the ancient past. Keeping this tradition alive in Braj, Holi celebrations last for more than a week and are marked by people sprinkling colored water and smearing colored powder on each other. The playful teasing of the gopis by the gopas (cowherd boys) is enacted by groups of men and women through special Holi songs and dances called 'rasiya.'
We should send e-greetings and refrain from using colors, as ultimately, we have to use water, and we should develop the habit of conserving natural resources.

Hi,
Few suggestions for Holi celebration:
Plan the event 1 or 2 days before Holi day -
1. Best dressed contest (Male & Female): Multi-colored Indian traditional dress code for all. Senior Management should definitely be dressed in Indian traditional attire on the day. Keep some good awards for the winners. Let there be a committee to judge the same.
2. Free Special lunch for all - Add 1 or 2 non-veg dishes. Keep a sweet dish as GUJEEIA. You can also ask the food vendors to set up some special chaat counters (Allo-tikki, Gol-gappe, bhel-puri...) depending on your budget.
3. Decoration: Decorate Cafeteria & Reception with lots of colorful balloons, ribbons, etc., to give a special Holi effect. Place different colors in a tray (Thali) at the reception. If possible, you can also decorate the work areas in your organization as well.
4. Rangoli Competition: You can also hold the most colorful rangoli competition to be made from Holi colors & select the winners accordingly.
5. Music: Arrange for peppy music related to Holi in your office to set the mood for all the employees for the festival. If possible, you can also think of having a DJ in the evening.
6. Communication: Most important - once you decide on the plan, prepare a beautiful & colorful communication & make sure you communicate well in advance, so that employees can plan accordingly.
Hope this helps...there's a lot that can be done...it all depends on how creative you are & what is possible considering your organization's needs & constraints.
Let me know in case you need any more help.
Thanks & Regards,

Get people to decorate their workstations according to a theme or as brightly as they can to set the Holi spirit at work. Let them match their decorated workstations as well. Organize a competition and a few management games to encourage everyone to look on the brighter side of life.
Best of luck and cheers!

I belong to Pakistan but I like this event very much due to the colors. For office celebration, the office may be decorated with flowers and colors. Employees with good voices may entertain others by singing and keep the audience engaged. This get-together may be followed by a sumptuous lunch and dinner.

Hi Hena,
Thank you very much for your suggestion for Holi; all the suggestions are really good. However, the issue is I'm working in Tamil Nadu, where only a few people know Hindi. Could you please suggest some other games so that everyone can enjoy and experience the joy of Holi?

Hello, I would like to advise you, but I am not sure if it suits your query. You may celebrate HOLI in such a way that is remembered and enjoyed. I think you can go for a recreational day. On that day, have fun and invite everyone from the office to a well-furnished resort. You can also seek permission to celebrate Holi in an open space at the resort, which will be fun and mind-blowing. You can also consider compensation if there are many employees too.
With regards,
Shruthi.
