NEW DELHI: The search giant Google celebrated the 79th India Independence Day by unveiling a special doodle featuring a diverse array of styles and textures from different regions of India.
From India’s space missions to achieving glory in sports, Google’s latest doodle highlights the nation’s achievements in several sectors in recent years.
According to Google, the Independence Day doodle has been illustrated by artists Makarand Narkar and Sonal Vasave of Boomranng Studio.
The glory of India was highlighted through the traditional tiles, which represent different regions in India. From Jaipur blue pottery (Rajasthan) to terracotta relief (West Bengal), each title showcases a different style and a different national achievement of India.
The first tile features Jaipur blue pottery bearing the alphabet ‘G’ in classic font, surrounded by floral artwork. The second tile showcases a space shuttle to signify India’s achievements in the past space missions, including Chandrayaan-3, India’s third lunar mission.
The third tile from the right features an illustration of two cricket bats and a ball, symbolising India’s cricketing glory in recent years. The Indian cricket team won the T20 World Cup last year by defeating South Africa by seven runs.
It was followed by India’s victory in the Champions Trophy in the same year.
While the fourth tile features an alphabet ‘G’, the fifth tile highlights a Chess piece. It comes after the spectacular performances of the Indian Chess players in the tournaments in recent years. It also includes historic victories of Chess prodigies D Gukesh and Divya Deshmukh.
The fifth tile features a film reel, highlighting the growing cinema industry in India. Indian films have been gaining recognition worldwide through various film festivals.
From Payal Kapadia’s ‘All We Imagine As Light’ to SS Rajamouli’s ‘RRR’, the Indian cinema has been garnering attention from global critics and viewers.
