Google Celebrates Maha Kumbh 2025 with Virtual Petal Shower on Search Screen

Tech giant Google has joined the celebration of Maha Kumbh 2025 in a unique and creative way. As a tribute to one of the largest spiritual gatherings in the world, Google has introduced a special animation on its search platform, featuring a virtual shower of rose petals.

When users search terms like "Kumbh," "Maha Kumbh," "Kumbh Mela," or "Mahakumbh" on Google, the screen displays a rose petal animation in the background. This interactive feature adds a touch of festivity to the digital experience, commemorating the grandeur of Maha Kumbh.

Google also offers options to replay the animation or share it with others via email, Facebook, X, or WhatsApp. For those who prefer a standard search interface, there is an option to dismiss the animation.

A message from the official X handle of the Maha Kumbh acknowledged this digital gesture, stating, "Google search engine uniquely celebrates the commencement of Maha Kumbh 2025 at Prayagraj. When you search Maha Kumbh, it will shower petals on the screen in honour of Maha Kumbh."
