The traditional outfits showcased the rich cultural heritage of Tamil Nadu.
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.

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.
