Google's Independence Day India doodles

India's national bird, the peacock, adorns the Google home page on India's Independence Day. The peacock curves its neck backwards to form the 'G' of the Google logo. The other letters of the Google logo appear in ornate styling behind the peacock's plume. Google has been commemorating India's Independence Day with a doodle on its home page since 2003.
  
The Independence Day of India is celebrated every year on August 15th to commemorate its independence from the British rule and also its birth as a sovereign nation. India became independent on August 15, 1947.


On this day, Indians pay tribute to those selfless people who fought and laid their precious lives to make India free from the British rule by offering prayers and holding various activities.

This historic event is celebrated with flag-hoisting ceremonies and several events. Indians on this day rejoice by enjoying patriotic songs and hoisting the national flag.

In New Delhi, the Independence Day is observed with the flagship event that takes place every year at the Red Fort where the Prime Minister hoists the national flag and addresses the nation.

Happy  Independence Day..!
