In a note released on the august occasion, the company said, “Today’s Doodle celebrates India’s Republic Day, commemorating 72 years since the Indian Constitution took effect and the nation completed its transition to an independent republic”.

The ‘G’ has been formed with a wonderous mix of an elephant, a camel, a horse and a dog, being depicted together. All four animals are seen in the parade.

The ‘O’ next to it had been made using the image of a ‘tabla’, while the other ‘G’ had been depicted with a curvy saxophone, a wind instrument using by the bands in the parade.

Two doves, a symbol of peace, fly around the letter ‘L’ symbolically depicting the parade route with blue colour, standing next to the ‘E’ which is suffused in tricolour, representing the Indian flag.
