On Tuesday, Google Doodle celebrated India’s 77th Independence Day by highlighting the numerous textile craft traditions that exist across the nation’s states and union territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tech giant gave the audience a rundown of the significance of the historic day and the artist of the outstanding design before going into the doodle’s unique cultural fusion. Guest artist Namrata Kumar, who is based in New Delhi, has illustrated today’s Doodle, which honours India’s Independence Day. Before wishing India a happy Independence Day, it noted that a new era began on this day in 1947 when India gained independence from British domination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Kumar gave a brief explanation of the concept and sources of inspiration for the doodle’s design, explaining that she aimed to balance the representation of the nation’s various geographic regions. The main objective, she added, was to honour and celebrate India’s textiles and their profound connection to the nation’s identity throughout the creative process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more than 20 years, Google Doodles have honoured India Independence Day, with each year’s Doodle honouring a particular facet of Indian culture or history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2004, the Indian national flag was depicted simply in the inaugural Google Doodle for India Independence Day. Since then, Doodles have highlighted the nation’s rich history, different cultures, well-known landmarks, and adored sports teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2014 had one of the most enduring Google Doodles for India Independence Day. A short animated film depicting India’s history from the Indus Valley Civilization to the present day was included in the project, which was a cooperation between Google and the Indian animation studio Toonz Animation India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neethi, a visual artist from Kerala, created the 2022 Google Doodle for India Independence Day. It has a vibrant drawing of kites flying against a clear sky. On Independence Day, flying kites is an everyday activity because they represent the nation’s freedom and independence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
