    On the occasion of the 74th Independence day, Google celebrated India's diverse culture and traditions through a colourful and a vibrant doodle. The doodle, which is the artwork of Mumbai-based guest artist Sachin Ghanekar, beautifully protrayed India's rich musical legacy.
    Dating back to approximately 6,000 years, India's musical heritage included instruments like tutari, shehnai, dhol, veena, sarangi and bansuri, most of which, can be seen in the doodle.

    "At a philosophical level, my inspiration was the diversity of this country. This rich cultural fabric meticulously woven together always amazes me. For the execution of the Doodle, I included various musical instruments, drawing inspiration from various Indian art forms like Kalamkari, Madhubani, Warli, Gond, Phad, and Pichwai to bring this idea to life," Ghanekar was quoted as saying by Google.

    The musical diversity represented by this unique collection reflects the patchwork of Indian cultures that is celebrated across the nation today.
