Google put up the doodle on the Bangladesh page (http://www.google.com.bd) at the stroke of midnight on Saturday.

The mouseover text on the artistic version of the Google logo reads 'Bangladesh Independence Day' in both English and Bangla.

The Google doodle is the logo above the search box on the homepage.

The world’s most valuable company changes its doodle to mark special international events or days, or anniversaries of important personalities.

The US internet giant also marked the day in 2013 by depicting a child waving the national flag with his father (hoisting a bigger flag) and mother, with the trio set against a green background.

In 2014, it portrayed a Royal Bengal Tiger in a red circle signifying the sun and river wrapped with green font.

With an option to share the doodle on social media, Bangladeshis are thanking Google for choosing the Independence Day for doodle once again.
