India’s rich culture and landscapes have inspired many artists, and today, we’re proud to display an Indian student’s homage to an especially beautiful part of our country on www.google.co.in. Kids participating in this year’s Doodle4Google contest were encouraged to let their imagination run wild and submit a doodle inspired by a place in India they’d like to visit.

Our winner is 9th grader Vaidehi Reddy, from the Army Public School in Pune. She chose to depict the northeastern state of Assam, “because it is rich in both natural beauty and culture. Its music and rich folk arts are also very good.” Here’s her winning doodle, featuring Assam’s renowned tea, wildlife, and indigenous art:
