The doodle titled " Sky's The Limit for Indian Women" was designed by Gayatri Ketharaman, a 15-year-old girl, from Pune in the Doodle 4 Google contest for 2013.

Google holds the doodle contest for school kids in India every year on a particular theme and features the winning entry on its homepage on the Children's Day. For this year, the theme was "celebrating the Indian women". Google India managing director Rajan Anandan said the company received over 1.5 lakh entries this year.

Gayatri, currently a student of class 10 at the Bishop's Co-Ed School in Pune, has been taking part in the contest for the last four years. She came close to winning in 2011 when her doodle on 'India's gift to the world' was among the shortlisted entries. But this year, she finally succeeded with a doodle that celebrates the Indian woman and her life.

The doodle, which has to resemble the word Google, starts with a dancing woman who is arched to represent G. Gayatri says that the figure represents the grace and feminine side of Indian women. In place of two Os, Gayatri has used one rupee coin and a symbol for home, representing how Indian women take care of work as well as home. In place of G, there are earth and moon, showing that the Indian women are go-getters. In place of L, there is a woman holding a kid, showing caring nature of Indian women and in place of E, there is a police cap, which shows that when required Indian women can wear different hats and can be tough and brave.

This year the Doodle 4 Google contest had three categories. Category one was for students from class 1 to 3, category two was for students from class 4 to 6 and category three was for students from class 7 to 10.
