The doodle, draped in gold and red, featured the band on elaborately decorated camels.

A Border Security Force camel contingent will be participating in the Republic Day parade on Tuesday, an annual event which showcases the country’s military might and a myriad of tableaux depicting each state’s unique culture and history.

French President Francois Hollande is the chief guest for this year’s Republic Day, an invitation extended to him by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in solidarity with recent terrorist attacks in Paris and Pathankot.

Unlike many of Google’s previous doodles, this doodle does not have any animation.
