Google, a company known for offering unparalleled perks to its employees, manages to exceed expectations when it comes to festive celebrations. A video from last year’s Diwali celebrations at Google’s Bengaluru office is currently going viral on social media — and safe to say that thousands of viewers are green with envy after watching it.

The video was shared by Instagram vlogger Nikita Sharma, who told HT.com that she attended the Diwali party as her husband’s plus-one.

Good food, great games

While all Google employees can avail of free and delicious food on regular work days, the party took things up a notch with gourmet delicacies. Sharma’s video shows how Google set up catering for the party with a chaat station, vegan options, a range of desserts, different drink options and more.

Food was not all that employees and their guests got to enjoy at Google’s Diwali party. They also played games like Tambola and Musical Chairs. Henna art was organised for women who wanted mehendi on their hands, and painting activities set up for those who wanted to show off their creative flair.
