Google comes up with colourful doodle to honour India's 69th Republic Day

This year, for the first time, the parade will see 10 chief guests - the leaders of all member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN. In another first, the ASEAN flag will also be flown during the parade.

The Google Doodle was created by New Delhi-based illustrator, Ibrahim Rayintakath.

The artist used geometric shapes to create the background of the Doodle, one that is "inspired by the vibrant colors and patterns of traditional hand-loom draperies from different states."
