In tune of the tradition of indulging in the bright, colourful festivity associated with Holi, Google is showering its logo with gulaal on the home pages of 11 countries around the world.
Google has posted an animated GIF doodle on its home pages in India, Canada, Sweden, Latvia, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Indonesia. The same doodle was also posted on Google's Nepal home page on March 22 to celebrate the Holika festival.

However, this year unlike 2015 there's no Holi doodle on Google's UK home page (a country with a sizeable population of Indian origin) as Google is celebrating William Morris' 182nd birth anniversary.
This is the sixth doodle that Google has posted on the occasion of Holi. The first was in 2001, followed by 2010, 2011, 2014 and 2015.

In 2013, there was no Holi doodle. The Google 2014 Holi doodle was, in fact, quite similar to the 2011 doodle, but with a pickhari (spray gun) added in the 2014 version.

In 2012, Holi coincided with the International Women's Day and the doodle that Google posted for the event had a Holi-like feel.
