Google Russia Today (November 18, 2009) Celebrates Ded Moroz The Traditional Character from Father Frost fairy tale by displaying this Google Logo on its Russia Homepage.
In the culture of the Slavs the traditional character Ded Moroz plays a role similar to that of Santa Claus. The literal translation of the name would be Grandfather Frost. However, English-speakers traditionally translate his name as the alliterative Father Frost.
Ded Moroz brings presents to children. However, unlike the secretive ways of Santa Claus, he often brings them in person, at the celebrations of the New Year, at New Year parties for kids by the New Year Tree. The "in-person" gifts only occur at big organized celebrations, where the gifts can be "standardized." The clandestine operations of placing the gifts under the New Year tree still occur while the children are young. Ded Moroz is accompanied by Snegurochka, or ‘Snow Maiden,’ his granddaughter. She is a unique attribute of the image of Father Frost – none of his foreign colleagues has a similar companion. Read more on Wikipedia.

Open to students from Class 1 to X, the contest was judged by a panel comprising renowned cartoonist N Ponnappa, artist Raghava KK and the faculty of the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad.

Puru, a student of Amity International, Gurgaon, said, "My doodle is based on the theme ‘My India Full of Life’. The ‘G’ (in Google) explains India is a land of diversity and a country which has a blend of traditions and religions. The peacock in my artwork describes the vibrant Indian culture. With ‘O’ I have tried to represent the country’s success in discovering water on Moon." "In the other ‘G’ I have depicted Kashmir, the crown of India. ‘L’ shows the Amar Jawan Jyoti that reminds us of the sacrifices made by Indian soldiers. And we cannot think of India without Mahatma Gandhi so I have dedicated ‘E’ to him," Puru said. Puru gives the credit of his win to his mother Arti. "We are proud his creation has been selected and will be on Google’s homepage for a day," said Puru’s parents Navin Pratap Singh and Arti.
