Google has created over thousands of doodles for the homepages around the world. The marvelously funky doodles bring smiles to the faces of millions of Google users around the globe reflect Google's philosophy of taking fun seriously. And as a result India is one of the leading competitors in this race for some serious fun.
The four Indian cities of Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai, and New Delhi lead the global search for Google Doodles, respectively, across the globe. Google Trends data from the past 12 months shows that while search for these engaging Doodles had their share of rise and fall, the month of August 2012 took the interest in Google Doodles to a new level. With the Olympics taking place in London, Indian who couldnât be there live, decided to play their own Olympic games on the Google Search home page. In fact, the search reached its peak volume during that month, and search terms including âGoogle Doodle gamesâ and âDoodle jumpâ reflect in the top searched keywords.Â
Another interesting insight is that Google Indiaâs recently announced Doodle for Google campaign, targeting students across the country to create that special Doodle for Childrenâs Day, is currently the top keyword being searched for, by Indians! In its fourth year, the initiative continues to attract students from across states, and will culminate in New Delhi on November 06, 2012. The theme for the Doodle 4 Google competition for 2012 is âUnity in Diversityâ and invites children between the ages of 5-16 years to share their creativity by doodling on the Google logo.
