Bhubaneswar: Internationally acclaimed artist from Odisha Sudarsan Pattanik has broken another record with his Lord Ram sand art, which includes Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath and 500 miniature replicas of the Ram Temple at Ayodhya.

The sculpture, measuring 55-feet in length, 35-feet in width and 23-feet in height, was made at a sand art camp organised by UP culture department’s academy as part of activities to celebrate the consecration ceremony of the new-built temple in Ayodhya. And it has been awarded the certificate of the largest sand sculpture of Lord Ram by the World Records Book of India, according to a statement issued by the UP government.

The chief minister presented the certificate to the Director of the State Lalit Kala academy, Shraddha Shukla, on Sunday.

Yogi also praised the sand sculpture and took a selfie with it

“We have crafted the massive sand sculpture to celebrate the consecration of Ram Lalla idol at Ayodhya temple. The sculpture has been decorated with 500 miniature replicas of the magnificent Ram Mandir. It took us two days to craft the sculpture,” said Pattnaik, who created it with members of his team, including Santosh Kumar Nayak, Bulu Mohanty, Jitendra, Pramod Biswal, Maheshwar, Kenny Kawasi and Vishbar Patnaik.
