Google marks festival of Holi with colourful doodle

The Google Doodle on Friday celebrated Holi – the festival of colours that marks the end of winter and the beginning spring in India. The illustration shows dancing dhol players surrounded by clouds of red, yellow, green and blue.

“The



four main powder colours carry with them a piece of symbolism,” Google said. “Red signifies love and fertility, yellow is the colour of turmeric, a natural remedy, blue represents the beloved Krishna and green symbolises spring and new beginnings.”
