Miniature Artist Bijay Reddy Of Odisha’s Berhampur Creates Chalk Sculpture On Modi’s Birthday

Berhampur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi used to visit his mother Heeraben Modi on his birthday to seek her blessings. As Modi turns 74 on Tuesday, Heeraben is no more. Renowned chalk carving miniature artist K Bijay Kumar Reddy of Berhampur in Odisha’s Ganjam district has carved a sculpture on the emotional moment as a birthday tribute to the Prime Minister.

“The Prime Minister was deprived of the birthday blessings of his mother for the last two years after she died on December 30, 2022 at the age of 99 years. But the moment still has a lasting impression on the minds of the public. So, I created the intricate miniature sculptures of Modi and his late mother,” said Bijay.

The delicate carvings of the Prime Minister and his mother stand at just 2 cm and 3 cm in height respectively.

Bijay, a native of Berhampur, has been appreciated for his ability to transform ordinary chalk into works of art. The latest creation holds a special place in his heart as he hopes to personally present the sculptures to the Prime Minister during his visit to Bhubaneswar to launch Odisha Government’s ambitious Subhadra Yojana and other projects on September 17.

“Meeting the Prime Minister and presenting him with this artwork would be a dream come true,” Bijay said with excitement.

Bijay recently received the prestigious MyGov Sathi Award in New Delhi. His creative talent has garnered praise from art enthusiasts and officials alike, with many appreciating the intricate details and precision in his chalk sculptures.
