Google search has an Easter egg for Diwali
It’s officially Diwali and joining the virtual celebrations is Google with a special Easter egg. Google’s Diwali Easter Egg is available in search and can be activated with search terms such as Diwali, Diwali festival and Diwali India.
To discover the Easter egg, you will have to type Diwali in Google search. On the right side of the search results page in the Diwali information area, you will see a diya. Press the diya to unlock more diyas spread across the page. You can then take that diya and turn on the other diyas to brighten up the whole page. Diwali symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, so this Easter egg sums up the meaning of the festival well.
Google has also decorated the top of the search results page with diyas. He also launched a Google Arts & Culture page dedicated to Diwali. Here you will find articles on the history of Diwali, its meaning and significance, as well as how Indians celebrate the festival. It also has a video of Amish Tripathi, author and director of the Nehru Center with Neil MacGregor, art historian, broadcaster on why Diwali is special this year.
The page is filled with photos of decorations, traditions and dishes related to Diwali. You can also find photos of Diwali celebrations and the festivities surrounding it. There is also a gallery of different rangoli designs and lamp traditions. It also presents the history of Diwali from the Ramayana and the meaning of the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi.
That’s not all. There is a Diwali AR experience through which you can light virtual diyas and pop crackers.
