Google is known for putting up creative pictures using its logo, to mark special dates, anniversaries and milestones. We have an article this week on the 100th birthday of Jonas Salk, and Google's Doodle to celebrate the occasion.

Here is one "Google Doodle" that the company has put up in the past. What does the man in this doodle signify?


CLUE: This doodle represents a festival held in the United States

 

 

The right answer is: It represents the Burning Man Festival, a yearly event in the Nevada desert that attracts a lot of people who work in the computer industry, including the founders of Google.

The first 3 winners who got it right are: Kiwi_BJ, Samyuktha V., Tryn28.

Congrats to others too, who got it right!

OK, festival. Narrow it down. It could be Mardi Gras. Looks like a dance festival, perhaps? OK, there are a lot of answers. Either dance or eskimos/inuit. so an Inuit celebration festival? Or a cultural dance festival?

The Google doodle represents the Burning Man festival.
Burning Man is a yearly festival held in Nevada's Black Rock Desert. Together thousands of people work together
to build a community called Black Rock City. It is
dedicated to self expression and self reliance.

I think its the Burning Man Festival held in the Baker Beach,San Francisco,United States where the people celebrated by burning a wooden man like the one in the figure(picture).That's all I've got.

I think this man signifies eskimos maybe? I mean, you can see the hood. Maybe he signifies freedom or power. or something as simple as happiness or dancing. Or he is finishing something.

I remember that it represented that the founders of Google were "out of office" and at an annual festival that took place in Arizona... Was it called the Burning Man Festival?
