Ghungroo se Google
India means dance and music to me. I use dance to express my feelings. I exercise and refresh myself after school. My doodle represents Kathak, which I am learning for the past two years. Kathak was first performed in the temples and then in the Mogul courts. G: the graceful ‘Hasthaks’. O: ‘Natraj’ the God of dance. O: Flared ‘Ghagra’ in the ‘chakkar’ move. G: Tabla and flute which accompany Kathak. L: Posture in Kathak. My teacher says, ‘stomach in, back straight, heels together and toes apart’. E: ‘Ghungroos’ which add rhythm to the dance.

Colourful collage of unity
‘My India’ is a colourful collage of unity because it has many religions, castes, different types of people celebrating different types of festivals, eating different types of food and speaking different types of languages. My India welcomes all kinds of people from all over the world and greets them as our own people. I compare My India to the festival Holi, because it’s a colourful festival and invites everyone while celebrating it.

Green India
I love my India because it is very green. I always plant a tree in a year or more than that. I love flowers. They are very nice to smell and they are colourful. My wish is to see the biggest flower ‘Rafflesia’. I love my India.

Musical India
Everybody can identify when Indian musical instruments are played in a concert. Each alphabet of Google supports an Indian instrument. I felt like a musical concert going on my drawing page celebrating my free India. The instruments are the Sitar, originating from Northern India. Tabla, invented in Delhi. Veena, played in South India. The ancient flute made of bamboo, during the time of Lord Krishna and plates used in Maharashtra for religious prayers.
