  Bangladesh Independence Day 2023

• Today’s Doodle celebrates Bangladesh’s Independence Day. On this day in 1971, the South-Asian country declared its independence and officially became an independent nation later that same year.

  Independence Day kicks off with a thirty-one gun salute to honor those who fought for Bangladesh’s freedom. After political ceremonies and parades pulse through the capital city of Dhaka, many gather to watch fireworks light up the night sky. 

  Citizens celebrate the national holiday by donning the Bangladesh colors of red and green. Depicted in today’s artwork, the flag decorates homes and buildings throughout the country. Its central red circle and green background represent a sun rising across the natural beauty of Bangladesh’s landscape. 

  Happy Independence Day, Bangladesh!
