NEW DELHI: Google on Sunday dedicated a doodle to mark the International Women's Day .

The doodle is an animated video of a multilayered 3D paper mandala animation. The mandala, as we all know, is a circular figure representing the universe in Hindu and Buddhist symbolism.

The mandala’s black-and-white central layer reflects women around the world during the late 1800s to the 1930s amidst labour movements. The second layer depicts women from the 1950s to the 1980s, a landmark era in the wake of pushes for gender equality and rapid changes to the status quo.

Finally, the outer layer symbolizes women from the 1990s to the present day, in the context of progress made from over 100 years of women’s rights movements.

This year the theme of International Women's Day is "Each For Equal".
