The doodle celebrates India\u2019s textiles and their profound connection to the nation\u2019s identity. Today\u2019s doodle is illustrated by New Delhi-based guest artist Namrata Kumar. On this day in 1947, a new era dawned as India became independent from British rule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSymbolic of this first day of independence, an annual flag-raising ceremony is held at Red Fort, Delhi, with the Prime Minister in attendance. Citizens sing the national anthem and commemorate leaders of the independence movement. Movies about freedom fighters are broadcast, and various cultural programmes are held in schools and neighbourhoods, with children participating in plays and competitions,\u201d Google Doodle shared while explaining significance of the historic day on their page.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the creative process for this doodle, Namrata said, \u201cIdentified the textile craft forms: Researched and identified the diverse textile craft forms present in India. I sought to cover a broad spectrum of techniques, encompassing embroidery, different weaving styles, printing techniques, resist-dyeing techniques, hand-painted textiles, and more. Additionally, I wanted to ensure that I represented different geographical regions of the country in a balanced manner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout the creative process, the overarching goal was to honour and celebrate India\u2019s textiles and their profound connection to the nation\u2019s identity. My hope was that through this artwork, I would be able to shed a light on the rich cultural heritage and artistic brilliance of India\u2019s textile traditions and create something that would resonate with audiences through the Google Doodle platform,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] New Delhi: Google Doodle celebrated India\u2019s Independence Day 2023 with a tribute to the country\u2019s rich textile heritage.
