PURI, June 8: Renowned sand artist Padma Shri Sudarsan Pattnaik on Sunday congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his 11 years of leadership through a powerful sand sculpture with the message “11 Years of Modi Era: A Jan Sevak’s journey to Build Viksit Bharat”, at Puri beach in Odisha.
This message stands not just as a sculpture in sand, but as a symbol of progress, and a shared dream of Viksit Bharat.

Pattnaik has created a 6ft high sand sculpture on the occasion of completion of 11 years of dedicated service by Modi as the Prime Minister of India. He has used about five tons of sand on it. Students of his sand art institution joined hands with him to complete the sculpture.
“People from across the country congratulated the PM for his 11 years of journey. We express our heartfelt gratitude to our Prime Minister for his tireless leadership, unwavering commitment and transformative vision that has reshaped the destiny of our Nation,” he added.
