Roy was among India's leading modernists in the 20th century and a globally renowned figure too. Originally trained in the British academic style of painting, his earlier works had shades of European impressionism and portraiture.

But he shunned his Western training eventually and turned to India's folk and tribal art forms in the wake of nationalist sentiments sweeping the country in the early 1920s.

In the 1970s, the Ministry of Culture declared him one of the country's "nine masters" whose artworks are considered national treasures.

Indians on social media were delighted with Google's tribute to the legend.

Well done, Google!
