We had a truly spectacular and festive Christmas celebration on December 20th, with all employees gathering in 3D for a cake cutting ceremony and a series of entertaining programs. The office was magically transformed into a winter wonderland, adorned with beautiful Christmas decorations. In addition to the festive office setup, employees enhanced their workspaces with their own holiday touches, bringing even more cheer to the atmosphere.

Santa made a grand entrance to the 3D area, accompanied by the joyful sounds of carols and bursts of laughter.
Our CEO, P. Jayakumar, delivered a heartfelt Christmas message. As part of the celebrations, he invited two esteemed senior employees, Prakashan U.K. and Harikumar K, to cut the cake in recognition of their remarkable 25-year commitment to the organization.

The event featured carols and vibrant dance performances from employees, adding color and energy to the program. Additionally, we held several fun contests in celebration of the season. The "Best Team Photo" contest was won by Aparna and her team, while the awards for "Best Bay Decorations" went to 3D Animation, 2D Animation Seniors, and the 3D Production and Edit teams, securing the top three spots, respectively.

The event was a delightful occasion, with everyone coming together to embrace the true spirit of Christmas.

Hyderabad-based Mara Creations, an innovative content house specializing in original IP creation, has partnered with Toonz Media Group to distribute Sriman Rama, a captivating and original animated series. Based on the childhood adventures of Ram Lalla (as Lord Rama was affectionately known during his youth), this series offers a fresh perspective on the revered figure of Rama. Conceived and created by National Film Award winner Satyakashi Bhargava, Sriman Rama celebrates the timeless virtues of Lord Rama—benevolence, camaraderie, brotherhood, sacrifice, valor, and gratitude—which continue to resonate strongly in today's world.

The series shines a light on the joyous and formative years of Rama's childhood, depicting his playful and spirited interactions with his brothers Lakshmana, Bharata, and Shatrughna, as well as his friends Guha and Suyajna, and his elder sister Shantha. These moments are filled with positivity, adventure, and the essence of youthful energy. For the first time, Sriman Rama explores the childhood experiences of Lord Rama from the Ramayana in an animated format, making it a unique and engaging experience for children. This series not only brings the epic to life but also imparts the moral values of Rama's youth, making it a perfect blend of entertainment and education.
