Google dedicates doodle to Nepal’s Republic Day

May 28th, 2016 :
The Google has created a special doodle, dedicating to Nepal’s ninth Republic Day, being celebrated across the country with various programmes on Saturday. The doodle shows Nepal’s national bird Danphe (Lophophorus) dipped in vibrant crimson and blue, the colours featured in the Nepali national flag.

Description of today’s doodle by Google reads: Today’s doodle shows Nepal’s national bird, the Danphe, or the Himalayan Monal. The male pheasant is brilliantly plumed with iridescent colours highlighting the beauty of Nepal. The female, a mild brown, represents its constancy and warmth. Similarly, Nepal is a nation of vibrancy and contrast, counting among its features both the world’s highest and most unforgiving peak and the well-preserved and magical temples and shrines of Kathmandu.

The landscape is an appropriate metaphor for the history of a nation in which, despite great upheaval, peace prevails. We hope today’s doodle by Alyssa Winans brings pride and joy to the people of Nepal.
