Every April we swap keyboards for kavum and kokis. This year’s Avurudu celebration brought the whole team together in traditional dress for a day of food, music and friendly competition.

From the kotta pora pillow fight to the classic games, teams battled it out for bragging rights — and everyone went home with a full plate.
