Indonesia Independence Day 2019: Google Doodle Denotes Hari Kemerdekaan
Today’s Google Doodle shown by Indonesia-based visitor artist Hari Prast celebrates Indonesia’s Independence Day, otherwise called Hari Kemerdekaan, informally known as Tujuhbelasan (“the Seventeenth”).

The day begins with flag-hoisting ceremony, trailed by a parade and local games competitions like balap karung (a two-man gunny sack race), panjat pinang (where hopefuls move up a greased pole or tree to get a prize at the top), and a lot increasingly local games.
Community inhabitants additionally cooperate to make Gapura gates, as appeared in the present Google Doodle. These colorful gates are made out of repurposed materials, beautifying the doors to their town neighborhoods and celebrating Indonesian Independence together.
Encapsulating a soul of collaboration (gotong royong) that lies at the very core of Indonesian values, Gapuras fills in as a reminder for Indonesians to cooperate for a superior country on Independence Day—and every day of the year.
