Google marked the 75th anniversary of the India's independence on Monday with a vibrant doodle.
The delectable doodle with elements of the tricolour in the kites shown follows the recent launch of the "India ki Udaan" project executed by Google Arts and Culture that celebrates the country's achievements and is "themed on the unwavering and undying spirit of India over these past 75 years".
The illustration by Kerala-based artist Neethi depicts a woman making kites and youngsters engaged in playing the traditional sport in a colourful setting, with the sun and high-rise buildings shown in the backdrop.
Google has added GIF animation to it, infusing a layer of dynamism and thus, bringing the doodle alive, as the tricolour-themed kites can be seen moving in the air.
Also, in the artwork, a young girl holds a kite with a heart sign on it, while a man looks at the flight of a kite bearing the number "75", tethered from a spool in his hand.
"On this day in 1947, India officially became a democratic country -- ending nearly two hundred years of British rule. The lengthy struggle for freedom resulted in the birth of the largest democracy in the world. Heroic freedom fighters, such as Mahatma Gandhi, led the country's independence movement through civil disobedience and nonviolent protests," Google said on its official page.
The artist said the artwork depicts the "culture around kites -- from the craft of creating bright, beautiful kites to the cheerful experience of a community coming together".
"I have drawn kites depicting our national colours, a message of love and commemorating the 75 years of India's independence. They fly as high as skyscrapers, birds and I would like to believe, the sun," she was quoted as saying about the doodle on the official page of the internet search engine.
The vast expanse of the sky brightly speckled with soaring kites is a colourful symbol of the great heights that the country has achieved, Neethi said.
Earlier this month, a senior Google official, while launching the "India ki Udaan" project, curated as part of the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, had said a "very special doodle will be unveiled this year on August 15".
The vibrant online project captures the milestones India has achieved in its journey of 75 years since independence, draws from rich archives and features artistic illustrations to tell the story of the country.
A physical representation of the new digital collection was also set up at the venue on the day of the launch, with a kite-shaped digital screen, pictures with augmented reality experience and other tech-driven experiences.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said in this 'Amrit Kaal', every Indian is aspiring to see the fast progress of a new India with enthusiasm and impatience.
Addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of India's Independence, he termed India the "mother of democracy".
"Our nation has proved that we have an inherent strength from our diversity and the common thread of patriotism makes India unshakeable," Modi said.
An aspirational society is important for any nation. Today, "we are proud that these aspirations are present in every household in India. Every citizen is enthusiastic, impatient for the fast progress of New India," he said.
"My understanding of the spirit of India, made me realise that for the growth of New India we needed to ensure inclusive development across the nation, a vision that was held dear by Mahatma Gandhi," the prime minister said.

India reverberated with a number of emotional slogans during the war of independence against the British.
Inquilab Zindabad, Quit India, Simon Go Back, Tum Mujhe Khoon Do, Main Tumhein Azaadi Dunga... These are some of the slogans that still give us goosebumps.
Slogans have also defined India's political and social life since independence.
To twist SRK's famous dialogue: ‘Never underestimate the power of a one-liner’
Here is a look at some of the defining slogans of Independent India
1: ‘Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan’ (1965)Perhaps the first post-independence political slogan that caught everyone's imagination... Coined by the second Prime Minister of India, Lal Bahadur Shastri against the backdrop of war with Pakistan and an imminent food crisis
2: ‘Garibi Hatao’ (1971) This slogan by Indira Gandhi was a massive hit and resulted in a landslide win for the Congress in 1971
3: ‘Indira is India, India is Indira’ (1970s)Congress leader Dev Kant Baruah coined the slogan "Indira is India and India is Indira" in the mid-1970s. It was symbolic of Indira Gandhi's power at that time.
4: ‘Indira Hatao, Desh Bachao’ (1977)JP's slogan became the united opposition's war cry against Indira and led to her drubbing in the elections after the Emergency
5: ‘Ek Sherni, Sau Langur, Chikkmaglur bhai Chikkmaglur’ (1978)The hilarious one-liner was coined by former Karnataka CM Devraj Urs for Indira Gandhi's by elections from Chikkmagluru in 1978
6: ‘Jab Tak Rahega Samose Mein Aloo, Tab Tak Rahega Bihar Mein Lalu’Another one in the same vein was one of the funniest election campaigns where Lalu Prasad Yadav was projected as the original leader of Bihar.
7: 'Bachcha Bachcha Ram ka, Janmabhoomi Ke Kaam ka’Slogan coined by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad a the height of the Ayodhya movement aimed at creating a deep communal wedge among the voters
8: ‘Mile Mulayam-Kanshiram, hawa ho gaye Jai Shree Ram’This slogan was given after the demolition of Babri Masjid when Mulayam Singh Yadav and Kanshiram united to form a government
9: Bari Bari Sab Ki Bari, Ab Ki Bari Atal BihariThe slogan that brought BJP to the power for the first time in 1996
10: India ShiningThis election slogan by the BJP seeking a re-election in 2004 didn't have the desired impact on the voters
11: Sonia Nahi Yeh Aandhi Hai, Doosri Indira Gandhi HaiIn 2009, this slogan was coined by the Congress party to popularize Sonia Gandhi as the second Indira Gandhi.
12: Maa, Maati, Maanush Trinamool Congress' political war cry that brought down the Left Front government in West Bengal
13: Abki Bar Modi SarkarThe cult BJP slogan that spread like a wildfire and resulted in a massive BJP victory in 2014
14: Modi Hai To Mumkin HaiAnd PM Modi came back to power with an even bigger majority in 2019 on the back of this slogan

A home-grown howitzer gun will be used for the ceremonial 21-gun salute during the Independence Day ceremony at Red Fort for the first time, Defence Secretary Ajay Kumar said on Wednesday.
The Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS) has been developed under the government's 'Make in India' initiative by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The ATAGS will give the ceremonial 21-Gun Salute along with the British guns which are being traditionally used till now.
The defence ministry said the initiative to use the indigenously developed gun will stand as a testament to India's growing capacity of developing arms and ammunition indigenously.
The gun has been especially customised, with certain technical specifications being tweaked for the ceremony.
The ministry said a team of DRDO's Armament Research & Development Establishment, Pune, led by scientists and artillery officers worked in the project to make use of the gun possible for the Independence Day ceremony.
The ATAGS project was started in 2013 by the DRDO to replace older guns in service in the Indian Army with a modern 155mm artillery gun.
This specialised gun system is compatible with C4I systems like the Artillery Combat Command and Control System called Shakti for technical fire control, fire planning, deployment management, operational logistics management of the Indian Army.
The defence secretary also said NCC cadets from all districts of the country have been invited to attend the main event at Red Fort.
These cadets will be seated at 'Gyan Path' in front of the Red Fort's ramparts in a geographical formation of the map of India.
Kumar said the cadets will adorn local dresses, symbolising India's cultural diversity, to carry forward the message of 'Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat'.
In continuation to the initiative taken during Republic Day 2022, the section of society, which is usually overlooked, has been invited as special guests for Independence Day as well, he said.
"These include anganwadi workers, street vendors, mudra scheme borrowers, mortuary workers etc. They have been invited to attend the main event at Red Fort," Kumar said.
Kumar said a total of 26 officers and supervisors and 126 cadets from 14 countries -- US, UK, Argentina, Brazil, Fiji, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, The Maldives, Mauritius, Mozambique, Nigeria, Seychelles, the UAE and Uzbekistan -- are already in India for the Independence Day celebrations.
Apart from attending the main event at Red Fort, the youth will be visiting places of cultural and historical importance in Delhi and Agra.
Kumar said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will also be felicitating 25 winners of the 'Veer Gatha contest' (SUPER-25) in New Delhi on August 12.
Veer Gatha, one of the unique projects launched as part of 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' was organised to inspire and spread awareness among children about the gallant deeds and sacrifices of the armed forces.
In the nation-wide contest, held between October 21-November 20, over eight lakh students from 4,788 schools were encouraged to share inspirational stories through essays, poems, drawings and multimedia presentations, the ministry said.
Following the success in the first edition, Veer Gatha 2.0 is all set to be launched in September, it said.

Positivity rate is the percentage of positive results out of the total number of tests sampled.
Mini smart lockdowns have been imposed in Karachi, Islamabad and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
"Instructions have been issued to administrations across the country to ensure that precautionary measures are followed. But like in the past, success is impossible without the cooperation of the people," he said in the tweet.
Education Minister Shafqat Mahmood also asked people to follow guidelines and avoid big gatherings.
"Large public gatherings must not take place. These alone can unleash a second wave," he said.
According to the health ministry, Punjab province on Sunday confirmed 203 new COVID-19 cases. It was for the first time since August 15 that Punjab recorded more than 200 cases.
Sindh reported 140,131 cases, Punjab 100,687, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa 38,329, Islamabad 17,296, Balochistan 15,520, Gilgit-Baltistan 3,924 and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir 3,045 cases.
The National Command and Control Centre (NCOC), the nerve centre to synergise and articulate unified national effort against COVID-19, on Thursday imposed restrictions on large-scale public gatherings in marriage halls after rise in the COVID-19 infections in recent weeks.
The restrictions have come ahead of a big rally announced by the opposition parties, under the banner Pakistan Democratic Movement, on October 16 at Gujranwala in Punjab province against the Imran Khan-led government.
However, the Opposition leaders have rejected the call to avoid big rallies.
&ldquo;Some weeks ago this government was taking credit for controlling the coronavirus but suddenly it started saying that it was getting out of control,&rdquo; Rana Sanaullah of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz earlier had said.&nbsp;
