BHUBANESHWAR, Apr 14 : Renowned sand artist Sudarshan Patnaik, a Padma Shri awardee, created a striking sand sculpture at Puri Beach to celebrate the spirit of Nari Shakti Vandan.
The powerful artwork symbolised women’s strength, unity, and leadership, beautifully conveying the message that an empowered woman forms the foundation of an empowered India. Crafted with remarkable precision, the sculpture stood 6 feet tall and was created using nearly 5 tons of sand.
