New Delhi: Tech giant Google on August 15 celebrated India’s 78th Independence Day with a doodle that showcases the country’s iconic architecture. The doodle, created by freelance art director, illustrator and animator Vrinda Zaveri features doors and windows to display India’s rich architectural heritage.
The doors and windows are adorned in the tricolours of the Indian flag — saffron, white, green which are the primary colours and the Navy blue.
The digital artwork also carries the letters ‘G’, ‘O’, ‘O’, ‘G’, ‘L’ and ‘E’ on each door carrying a distinct ornate design.
“On August 15, 1947, India gained its freedom from nearly two centuries of colonial rule that was filled with inequality, violence, and lack of fundamental rights,” Google said in the blogpost The freedom movement was led by prominent figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Subhas Chandra Bose. “The perseverance and sacrifices of the country’s freedom fighters paid off,” Google said. “Homes, buildings, streets, and cars are decorated with the saffron, white, and green national flag — as seen in today’s artwork,” Google said.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hoisted the national flag at the iconic Red Fort and also paid tributes to the freedom fighters.
