In an aerial view, the Raisina Hill, seat of the power and India Gate, the symbol of supreme sacrifices made by soldiers in wars, can be seen gleaming in the sun, accentuating their architectural grandeur. The Hill section shows the majestic Rashtrapati Bhawan and the two secretariat blocks -- North Block and South Block surrounded by lush greenery while the historic memorial arch stands resplendently on the other end.
The colours used in the doodle reflect the original sandstone finish and adds an extra dash of grandeur to the whole set up.
