The biggest festival of the year is here. The Diwali Festival, the Festival of Light, is celebrated to commemorate the victory of good over evil. Google has added a quirky search feature today. If you search only “Diwali” on Google, Google graffiti will be displayed, an animation lamp (Diya) will be displayed on that Google, and when you click it, a ring of lamps will open, and when you hover your mouse over each, it will light up. Google CEO Sundar Pichai made fun of the tweet.
Update 11/3/2021: It’s Diwali season once again, with the main day of the festival of lights taking place around the world on November 4. In celebration of Diwali 2021, Google has re-launched their diya lighting easter egg from last year. Google CEO Sundar Pichai is even getting in on the fun, sharing the easter egg on his Twitter account.
Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating the festival of lights! (Look for the 🪔 when you search for “Diwali” on Google:) https://t.co/7Lzc3FvDNl

As soon as we click the animated lamp on the Google Doodle, the whole Search page darkens, with the lamps providing the light. Users can hover their mouse over areas of the screen to illuminate it. “Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating the festival of lights! (Look for the Diya lamp when you search for “Diwali” on Google),” Pichai said.
