He had created the 25 feet high and 50 feet wide sand Santa face.
A sand sculpture of Jesus Christ has also been created in front of the Santa face on the beach, he said adding about 600 tonne of sand including coloured sand had been used for creating the huge structure.
The master sculptor was assisted by 40 of his disciples at the Sudarsan Sand Art Institute of Puri and they took 35 hours to erect the mammoth structure.
In 2016, Sudarsan created around 1,000 sculptures of Santa Claus at Puri sea beach during the Christmas weekend in an attempt to create a world record. He, along with 35 students, created around 1,000 sculptures of Santa Claus using a huge amount of sand.
In 2015, Sudarsan had created a national record by making a 45-feet high sculpture of Santa Claus at the Puri sea beach.
In 2012, Sudarsan and his team had created 500 sculptures of Santa Claus.
