Google Doodle celebrates Nowruz 2024
Google's lively Doodle marks Nowruz 2024, honoring the Persian New Year with artistry. Celebrating renewal and unity, the Doodle encapsulates the spirit of this cherished festival.
As the world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, Google chose an unusual Google doodle to mark the contribution of women in different fields. Unlike a little doodle, this time there is a slide show where the first slide shows a grandmother narrating a bedtime story to her granddaughter.
The story involves various female pioneers and their accomplishments in life.
The subsequent slides are portraits of some of these pioneers and their work as one go over through the imagination of the little girl.

The 13 women who have been showcased in the doodle through art are Lotfia ElNadi, Ida B Wells, Ada Lovelace, Sally Ride, Lina Bo Bardi, Cecilia Grierson, Frida Kahlo, Miriam Makeba, Olga Skorokhodova, Halet Cambel, Lee Tai-young, Rukmini Devi Arundale and Suzanne Lenglen.
Arundale, the only Indian in the list, was a Bharatanatyam dancer and a choreographer who was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1956.
The United Nations designated March 8 as the UN Day for women’s rights and world peace. The 2017 UN theme for the day is ‘Women in the Changing World of Work: Planet 50-50 by 2030.’
