The festival of Lord Ganesha is finally here. It is New Year celebration time and everyone and every place seems to be happy and wealthy. I believe this festival should be enjoyed with families whether it’s the actual family or the work family. Here are some suggestions that might help beautify your working place for the starting of Ganesh Chaturthi.
First let us discuss how and why Ganesh Chaturthi should be celebrated in the workspace. Of course, this festival symbolises wealth, affection, and guardian deity. This is why everyone believes that it will bring them good luck.
When you are in a compact cadre of computers with co-workers, whom you have been working with for several years, then there is a need to honour such forms of togetherness.
Schedule to get a Murti in your working place and beautify it with some lovely accessories. And similarly, like at home, sing your aartis with your work family only. There are reasons behind celebrating this festival within your workspace:There are reasons behind celebrating this festival within your workspace:
Prosperity:
A first Ganesh Chaturthi for a new firm is also a very lucky sign for the business house as it ushers in opportunities. To bring the vibes of Lord Ganesha and the principles that are associated with him in the workplace will definitely not harm your business. The energy of gloom and black cats will not be entertained at the workplace, and all sorts of bad luck will be chased away. Lord Ganesha symbolises prosperity so the celebration of the murti is going to resurrect the goodwill of the company.
Building Community:
Festivals bring people together. It’s a guarantee that when engaging in festive activities in one particular area, employees are bound to come together. Such things like decorating, doing aartis, something we wear like traditionals, etc will enhance the bond between the colleagues.
How can one celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi in a particular work environment?
Due to the increased sensitisation of the public towards conservation of nature and recycling in the modern world, one can transform a festival into an enjoyable event. If a tradition is to bring a Ganesh murti made of Plaster of Paris home, one can involve the employees in creating a murti of their own with natural things such as mud or clay. This way, the employees will indeed be having heaps of fun making the murti and also be contributing a small step to conserve the world.
But taking into consideration some practices that people have discovered, this festive experience can be transformed into a teaching process regarding nature and carry out the worship of the murti even after the visarjan. When fashioning the murti, it is recommended to place some seeds inside it! So, after visarjan, the people and the family place the murti into a pot and then take care, until a plant grows out of it. Another way in which people benefit in the office is by maintaining morale through what can be viewed as a group project.
I would recommend the employees to put up garlands and fairy lights all over the working area. Do a gen-eral discussion where everybody can contribute what their ideas for the celebrations are. Besides this, you can also organise a games day where the employees can go out for a good meal and then have competitive games.
Conclusion:
As it has been observed festivals are not restricted only to religion and belief. They should be carried out to create awareness, encourage good performance and unity among people. Valuing each of the employed people and being able to appreciate their culture is very vital in a working environment. Festival celebration is all about making sure that all members of society, no matter their background, are part of it.
