Celebration of Holi 2019 at SynapseIndia – Colours, liveliness & more

SynapseIndia employees celebrated Holi 2019 with the spirit of a culturally aware corporate team. Celebrating every major Indian festival in the Noida offices has long been a tradition at the company. This tradition was enthusiastically maintained during the festival of colours and bliss – Holi.

The celebration mood was enhanced with a special dress code for the  festival. Employees dressed according to the mood of the day, which was filled with lots of colours and excitement. The entire office area looked magnificently festive with employees wearing colourful attire.

Everyone joyfully played Holi with colleagues and fully enjoyed the sense of happiness created by the festival. As almost everyone's face got smeared with Gulal (coloured powder), employees didn't miss the annual opportunity take literally colourful group photographs.

While reading this blog, you may wonder about other traditions associated with the festival of Holi, apart from playing with colours. Well, there are a variety of other traditions, and I'm not talking about the religious rituals here. A  number of traditional Indian foods are associated with celebrations of Holi.

First thing first! No other food is as closely associated with Holi as Gujiya. This is a traditional Indian sweet comprising fried dough filled with khoya, nuts, raisins and soaked in sugar syrup. Today, several variants of this traditional food are available in the market, such as chocolate Gujiyas and low-sugar Gujiyas.

Thandai is another dish traditionally prepared during with Holi. It's a milky mixture of nuts, aromatic spices that is loved by children and adults alike. Other Ind ian foods like Dahi Bhalla and Malpua are great options for making a feast amid Holi celebrations.
