In April, Fcode Labs hosted a vibrant "Awurudu" celebration at the Bolgoda 360 Hotel, marking the Sinhala and Tamil New Year with a full day of traditional games and festivities. The event, which ran from 10 AM to 5 PM, brought together enthusiastic members of Fcode Labs, creating a memorable day filled with joy and cultural celebration.
The event was organized by the Fcode Labs event committee, who ensured that every detail reflected the rich traditions of the New Year. The venue was adorned with thematic decorations that highlighted the cultural significance of Awurudu, setting a festive and welcoming atmosphere.
The day was packed with a variety of traditional Awurudu games, including Kotta Pora (pillow fighting), Kana Mutti (breaking the pot), Tug-of-War, and the contest for choosing the Awurudu Kumara (New Year Prince) and Awurudu Kumariya (New Year Princess). These activities not only provided fun and entertainment but also brought back fond memories of traditional New Year celebrations for many attendees.
Participants described the event as a day filled with excitement and camaraderie. The entire day was memorable, with no single moment standing out as the whole experience was cherished by all. The celebrations significantly boosted team morale, fostering a stronger sense of community and cultural appreciation within the Fcode Labs family.
Given the success and positive feedback from the Awurudu celebrations, Fcode Labs plans to continue this tradition annually, ensuring that cultural festivities remain an integral part of the company's calendar.
