"Today's Doodle, illustrated by Vrinda Zaveri, celebrates Independence Day in India! On this day in 1947, India gained its freedom from colonial rule," the tech major said.

"On Independence Day, many attend flag-raising ceremonies, parades, musical performances, community rallies, and more to celebrate. Homes, buildings, streets, and cars are decorated with the saffron, white, and green national flag - as seen in today's artwork," they added.

Independence Day commemorates India's liberation from British rule on August 15, 1947. The day is marked by flag-hoisting ceremonies, tributes to freedom fighters, and cultural performances across the country.
