The day was filled with various traditional activities, ranging from Uriyadi competition to Tamil poetry recitation, leaving everyone in a joyous and spirited mood. 

The festivities were kicked off by an exciting Uriyadi competition, which is typically a game dominated by men. Nonetheless, this year, the female employees of Guires proved the stereotype wrong and emerged as the champions. Their exceptional skills demonstrated that women could thrive in games that have traditionally been male-centric. The intense competition displayed the determination of Guires’ talented women. 

Following the Uriyadi competition, the Rangoli competition took center stage. Teams from different departments put their creativity to the test, showcasing their artistic talents on the floor. Among the vibrant and exquisite designs, one of our teams scooped the first prize, impressing everyone with their intricate and visually appealing Rangoli. 

 Adding to the excitement, a round of Musical Chairs brought out the competitive spirit in Guires’ employees. Laughter filled the air as participants eagerly hustled to claim a seat before the music stopped. The energetic game added a touch of friendly rivalry, fostering team spirit and bonding among colleagues. 

 In keeping with tradition, a unique activity of finding coins from flour was organized. Participants dived their hands into a plate filled with flour, searching for hidden coins. It was a messy but exhilarating experience, leaving everyone in high spirits and creating an atmosphere filled with laughter and connection. 

The highlight of the day was a mesmerizing Tamil poetry recitation by one of Guires’ talented employees. With his captivating voice and profound emotions, he transported the audience to a world of verses and poetic beauty. The recitation received resounding applause, leaving everyone in awe of the employee’s talent. 

Our beloved COO, Dr. Radhika Ganesan, emphasized the importance of cultural awareness inside the organization and congratulated Guires on building strong ties and creating a workplace that cherishes diversity. 

Also, our CEO, Mr. Ganesan, expressed gratitude for the hard work and dedication of employees, drawing parallels between the efforts put into the Pongal celebration and the daily contributions made by each team member towards the success of the company. 

Finally, the celebration concluded on a joyous note as all the employees gathered for a group photograph. Smiling faces and a sense of unity reflected the strong bonds nurtured within the Guires family. 

Guires’ Pongal celebration truly brought the spirit of Tamil culture to life, leaving a lasting impression of togetherness and traditional values. The event showed that in addition to their professional excellence, the employees have a deep appreciation for their cultural roots. Guires continues to forge ahead as a company that values its employees’ diverse backgrounds and celebrates festivities with great enthusiasm.
