Happy National Day, Qatar!

The present Doodle observes Qatar’s National Day, a yearly open occasion that celebrates the Arab country’s opportunity and unification.

Shown in the Doodle craftsmanship is Qatar’s maroon and white national flag, which was officially embraced in 1971, the year the nation proclaimed its independence.

The maroon shading today called “Qatar maroon”– is accepted to go back hundreds of years to the Bronze Age, when early pioneers used nearby shellfish to make purple-red dye.

The unmistakable colorant turned into a famous fare and was utilized in illustrious articles of clothing. This color has come to hold extraordinary significance to Qatar’s public character and today fills in as an image of the nation’s cultural heritage and history.
