AGL took immense pride in celebrating Bharat's rich heritage and culture through vibrant and meaningful events in August and September 2024. From honouring our deities to rejoicing in our independence, this period has been filled with excitement, unity, and deep cultural reflection.

Ganesh Chaturthi Festivities

Our Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations were nothing short of spectacular! AGL families from across our locations gathered to celebrate the beloved Lord Ganesha. The special occasion commenced with a pooja ceremony, invoking blessings for wisdom, prosperity, and removal of obstacles. The beautifully adorned deity graced our premises, filling the atmosphere with spirituality and joy.

The festivities didn’t stop there! AGLites participated in the cultural experience with engaging activities like Aarti and a heartfelt Visarjan ceremony marked the conclusion of the celebrations. The sound of drums, chants of "Ganpati Bappa Moriya!" and a sea of smiles made it a day of true devotion and bonding.

Tiranga Trivia: Independence Day Quiz Fever

To honour India’s 77th Independence Day, AGL hosted the Tiranga Trivia, a quiz competition that fueled the excitement across our offices in Gurgaon, Jaipur, Noida, and Chennai. The competition saw teams competing at the city level in the Prelims, answering questions that covered a vast array of India’s history, culture, and achievements.

The energy and competitive spirit were unmatched as the Finals brought together top scorers from each city in an inter-city battle of wits. The fastest finger first claimed the winning spot, with prizes awarded to the brightest minds of AGL.

Remote employees from Mohali, Patna, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi were not left out! They joined the quiz fun via Zoom and battled for a spot in the Final Inter-City Quiz Competition. It was a memorable display of camaraderie and intellect as all participants proudly showed their love for the nation through knowledge and teamwork.

Celebrating Hindi Diwas: Language of Our Heritage

In September, AGL paid tribute to the beauty of Hindi, the language that unites us all. On the occasion of Hindi Diwas, we embraced our mother tongue with pride and honoured its rich linguistic heritage. The essence of Hindi was beautifully captured in the celebrations, with employees participating in a variety of activities such as Hindi poetry recitals, Shabd Gyan competitions, and more.

As we reflect on these celebrations, it’s clear that AGL is committed to fostering a strong sense of cultural pride among its employees. Whether it’s the spiritual blessings of Ganesh Chaturthi, the patriotic fervour of Independence Day, or the reverence for our national language on Hindi Diwas, AGL ensures that we continue to honour the vibrant heritage of Bharat. Stay tuned for more events as we continue our journey of celebrating unity in diversity!
