Preparing the Space for the Occasion
Colourful torans framed the entrance, a flower rangoli welcomed visitors, and a traditional urli bowl completed the decorations at Officebing on 28 September 2026. The idol of Lord Ganesha, placed on a beautifully decorated table, was the centrepiece of the celebrations. Employees arrived in vibrant traditional attire, adding to the festive setting as the community came together for the auspicious occasion.
Beginning the Day with Puja and Aarti
The celebrations began with a puja attended by a houseful of devotees. Employees and clients gathered around the idol to take part in the prayers and seek blessings. The puja marked the beginning of the day’s celebrations and brought everyone together for the occasion.
After the prayers, prasad and homemade modaks were distributed among those present. Modaks are a familiar part of Ganesh festivities, and their inclusion added a traditional touch to the celebration. The distribution also gave everyone a chance to share the festive offering before moving on to the day’s activities.
Clay-Dough Ganesh Idol-Making Contest
One of the highlights of the celebration was the clay-dough Ganesh idol-making contest. The activity saw enthusiastic participation from many Officebing clients, who created their own Ganesh idols using various clay dough colours.
The contest gave participants a chance to explore their creativity and make idols in different shapes, designs and colours. All creations were unique in their own way.
The contest also brought employees and clients together for an activity beyond their usual work interactions. It gave everyone an opportunity to participate, try something creative and enjoy the festival in a different way.
Along with the puja, aarti and distribution of prasad, the activity ensured that the celebration included both traditional rituals and an opportunity for people to take part. It was a simple way to bring the Officebing community together and give everyone a shared activity to look forward to.
Ending the Day with Evening Puja
The celebrations continued through the day, with the festive atmosphere carrying on across the workspace. In the evening, a final puja was performed to conclude the day’s religious observances. Employees and devotees gathered once again for the prayers, bringing the celebration to a close.
The Ganesh celebration was filled with colour, devotion and festive cheer. With the final evening puja, the day’s events came to an end, leaving behind memories of puja, sweets, togetherness, and the many creative Ganesh idols created during the contest.
