Leading the parade is a bipedal snow leopard, a symbol of the Himalayas, along with the gharial, a freshwater crocodile found in northern and central India. The Bengal Tiger, India’s national animal, the red panda, and the Indian paradise flycatcher, among others, are also depicted. Each animal is adorned in traditional attire and surrounded by indigenous musical instruments.

Dahotre, who was honored to be selected for the project, initially intended to create a Doodle that highlighted India’s diverse people but ended up focusing on anthropomorphic animals, which excited the Google team.
