Google, on Wednesday, celebrated the Spring Equinox with a doodle. Equinoxes, that occur twice a year, mark the exact moment when the Earth's axis is not tilted towards or away from the Sun. On every other day of the year, the axis tilts away from or towards the sun. On an Equinox, the length of the day and night are almost equal.

    Mont Blanc first ascent: Google marks 229th anniversary with a doodle

    It was not untill 1786 that human beings trekked up to the highest point of the Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps.

    On August 8, 1786, two Frenchmen - Dr Michael Gabriel Paccard and Jacques Balmat – created history by becoming first people to ascend the summit of Mont Blanc.

    Mont Blanc, also known as Monte Bianco,or White Mountain, is the highest peak in Europe outside of the Caucasus range. It rises 4,807 m (15,771 ft) above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world in topographic prominence.

    In order to commemorate the 229th anniversary of the historic ascent to the 'White Mountain', Google on Saturday created a special doodle for its homepage.

    The doodle depicts two men reaching the top of the marvellous snow-capped Mont Blanc. Giving close resemblance to nature, the doodle also creates a sense of tranquillity with green forests at the foothills of the ice covered mountain.

    The first woman to reach the summit was Marie Paradis in 1808. It is said that now the summit is ascended by an average 20,000 mountaineer-tourists each year.

    Watch Google Doodle marks India's 69th Independence Day by remembering Dandi March

    India's Independence Day 2015 on Saturday, August 15, which marks the 69th Independence Day of the country, has been denoted by Google Doodle on the homepage of Google. The search engine depicts an image of Mahatma Gandhi and other freedom fighters participating in the famous Dandi March that was part of the freedom struggle of India.

    The Dandi March or the Salt Satyagraha march was undertaken by 78 Congress volunteers in support MK Gandhi's new non-violent satyagraha movement. The historic walk for the breach of salt went on to lead to a wave of movements for India's independence from the oppressive and brutal British Raj.

  • Watch Google Doodle marks Clara Schumann
    Google Doodle marks Clara Schumann's 193rd birthday

    Google has posted a new doodle on its homepage to mark German musician and composer Clara Schumann’s 193rd birth anniversary.
    The Google homepage greets visitors with a doodle of Clara Schumann with her eight kids appearing to play the piano.
    Clara Josephine Wieck was born in Leipzig on September 13. She was considered one of the most distinguished pianists of the Romantic era. She was one of the first pianists to perform from memory, making that the standard for concertising.

    Clara used to believe that “Composing gives me great pleasure... there is nothing that surpasses the joy of creation, if only because through it one wins hours of self-forgetfulness, when one lives in a world of sound.”

    Her key achievement was that she changed the music taste of the listening public.

    At the age of 76, Clara suffered a heart attack and eventually died of a stroke in 1895.

    New Google Doodle Marks Indian Yoga Guru B.K.S. Iyengar's 97th Birthday

    He is credited with introducing the Western world to the ancient Indian practice.



    His name is synonymous with one of the world's most widely practiced disciplines, and yoga guru B.K.S. Iyengar is being celebrated accordingly with a Google Doodle on what would have been his 97th birthday.

    The interactive doodle shows the renowned master in various yoga poses within Google's logo and is meant to characterize the 'tremendous control and discipline, which he exercised in ways not limited to confoundingly long headstands,' the company said.

    Widely credited with introducing the West to the ancient Indian tradition - primarily through his tutelage of famous violinist Yehudi Menuhin - Iyengar was included in TIME's list of the world's 100 most influential people in 2004. He continued to practice and teach 'Iyengar Yoga,' as it came to be known, well into his 80s and almost right until his death in 2014.

    Google marks Winsor McCay's Little Nemo in Slumberland with doodle

    Google is celebrating 107th anniversary of American cartoonist and animator Winsor Zenic McCay’s “Little Nemo in Slumberland” with an interactive doodle across the world.

    Visitors to Google’s homepage were treated to a scrolling animated narration of the story dubbed “Little Nemo in Google-land” – though not all visitors may be able to experience it this time.

    The interactive comic strip provides a small tab at the lower right area for visitors to click to see the continuation of the story.

    Clicking on the tab at the end of the story will take the visitor to a Search Results page for Winsor Zenic McCay.

    McCay, born September 26, 1869 and died July 26, 1934, was best known for the comic strip “Little Nemo” that started in 1905, and the animated cartoon “Gertie the Dinosaur” in 1914.

    His comic strip work is credited for influencing generations of artists, including William Joyce, André LeBlanc, Moebius, Maurice Sendak, Chris Ware and Bill Watterson.

    However, not all visitors will get to experience the Doodle: StateofSearch.com said only modern browsers will show it.

    “The logo only works in modern browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer 9 and 10 but not in Internet Explorer versions 7 and 8,” it said.

    Herman Melville Google doodle marks 161st anniversary of Moby-Dick

    Herman Melville, celebrated author and the man behind the all-time classic Moby-Dick, is the inspiration behind Thursday's Google doodle.

    Moby-Dick is the great epic of whales and waling. It tells the story of Ahab, Captain of the Pequod, and of his revenge-mission and insane pursuit of Moby Dick, the fierce white whale. Among Ahab's crew is Ishmael, a young man undergoing a gruelling rite of passage and pursuing a different salvation. As the Pequod circles the globe like a latter-day Noah's Ark, so Moby Dick ranges and digresses through space and time, through mythologies, religions and philosophies.

    The Google doodle depicts a scene from the book where Captain Ahab leads a boat to strike at the huge white whale.

    Herman Melville had written Typee and Omoo before he wrote, what he believed was his masterpiece, Moby-Dick. He was shocked by the less-than-flattering reception the book received. One critic described it as '[A]n ill-compounded mixture of romance and matter-of-fact. The idea of a connected and collected story has obviously visited and abandoned its writer again and again in the course of composition. The style of his tale is in places disfigured by mad (rather than bad) English; and its catastrophe is hastily, weakly, and obscurely managed.'

    It wasn't until way after Herman Melville's death and the end of World War I that Herman Melville was rediscovered and Moby-Dick fou
