Doha Bank, on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan, organised a week-long lineup of activities to celebrate the traditional festival of Garangao.
Garangao is celebrated on the 14th night of Ramadan, and sees children get dressed up in colourful and traditional Qatari clothes while carrying a bag around town to collect candies from houses in the neighbourhood.
In celebration of the festival this year, Doha Bank has distributed 3,000 branded bags containing sweets, nuts and other goodies to children and local organisations.
“Doha Bank is delighted to take part in the colourful and joyous festival of Garangao every Ramadan season. The festival represents a tradition that is unique to Qatar and the Gulf region, and we are proud to be celebrating this centuries-old custom with the splendour it deserves,” said Dr R Seetharaman, Group CEO of Doha Bank.
He added: “Doha Bank is committed to supporting events and activities that help preserve the authentic Qatari culture and traditions, and we also actively participate in charitable causes, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.”
