BSF camel contingent marches on Google doodle on R-Day

January 26, 2016 08:00

As a tribute on 67th Republic Day, search giant Google's doodle today showed a march of a richly caparisoned camel contingent of the Border Security Force, a major attraction at the annual parade at the Rajpath on January 26.

The doodle presents six colourfully bedecked camels with bandsmen riding their back and playing martial music, marching elegantly in one neat row as they do on the ceremonial boulevard. Each of the six camels carries a letter of the word 'Google' on their golden caparison.

The BSF is the only force in the country to have these majestic and elegantly dressed four-legged animals for both operational and ceremonial duties. They are used by BSF personnel for patrolling along the Thar Desert running along the Indo-Pak International Border in Rajasthan.
