To commemorate India's 75th Independence Day, Google on Sunday displayed a doodle, which depicts the diverse cultural traditions in the country. The doodle artwork depicts the diverse forms of our dance - Bharatanatyam, the oldest Indian dance form that has its origins in the southern state of Tamil Nadu dating back 3000 years.
From the classical tradition of Bihu and Bhangra to the Chhau dance and masked reenactments of the Indian epics known as Kathakali.
