The internet search engine and technology giant Google commemorates the Independence Day of "the world’s largest democracy: India" with a sketch collage doodle stating that it was on 15th August in 1947, 'India became a sovereign, independent nation after nearly a century of British rule.'
"Featured in the Doodle artwork are several iconic Indian folk instruments, including the tutari, shehnai, dhol, veena, sarangi and bansuri. From the versatile double-reeded shehnai to the resonant stringed sarangi, these instruments are but a few that make up India’s rich musical legacy, which dates back over 6,000 years," adds their website informing that the doodle has been designed by Mumbai-based guest artist Sachin Ghanekar.
Wishing "Happy Independence Day, India!", the website further adds that the 'musical diversity represented by this unique collection reflects the patchwork of Indian cultures that is celebrated across the nation today.'
