A Reason to celebrate is again here – Cultural Connections ERG Chennai arranged for the Onam celebrations 2023 at Chennai Towers. A lot of planning and hardship went into making these celebrations colorful, fun filled and to have an everlasting impact in our memories for life. Preparations started a day before Onam – Right from drawing a silhouette of the Poo Kolam – A traditional design drawn with flowers to welcome the King Mahabali who visits his people on this day and decorating the reception areas of Chennai Towers began as well.
         On the day of Onam, Chennai colleagues Almost everyone took interest and dressed up in ethnic wears and looked their best and showed up enthusiastically to the office for the celebrations. Many employees pitched in and helped in preparing the flowers for Poo Kolam – Must agree it’s a back breaking job but the result was breathtaking and was vibrant which instantly put a smile on all our faces and wondered how meticulously efforts were put in to make it happen. A celebration incomplete without lip smacking food – so, Traditional sweets Ada Payasam and Kerala’s delight “Banana chips” were served as specials along with the lunch.
