Happy Holi!

This time 9 years ago we were in India skanking out, celebrating the Holi festival!

The flying pigment paint tie-dyed my white clothes. My hair turned a permanent pink after a powder shower, and my feet ached from all the dancing and playing with the locals!

It’s fair to say we had successfully started the spring of 2015 with unity, forgiveness and love! 🙌

Holi is a Hindu festival that marks the arrival of spring. It’s traditionally celebrated by people throwing coloured powder and water at each other, symbolising the triumph of good over evil and the joy of new beginnings.

It was pure luck we were in India during this festival, naively we had never actually heard of Holi before then!

That incredible experience not only left us great memories… it also gave us a new understanding and respect for the Hindu culture.

9 years later, we are celebrating Holi again - but slightly different this time…

We hosted a Holi themed Hybrid ART SIPPERS Challenge for King.com! 🎨

Teams from all over Europe got together to play with colour and learn about Holi, while painting a pretty peacock. 🦚

It’s lovely to see a company recognising and educating their employees on different cultural festivities and traditions.

Not only will this team experience have lasting memories, but it might create a deeper appreciation for different cultures and strengthen relationships between diverse communities. 💟

Have a Happy Holi everyone! 🎉
