Lord Ganesha sand art with 7000 seashells has the 'World Peace' message

A day before Ganesh Chaturthi, famed artist Sudarsan Pattnaik created a sand art of Lord Ganesha with around 7,000 seashells on Puri beach on Thursday.

The sand artist claimed that the 5-foot tall sand installation, created on the eve of Ganapati festival, is the first of its kind in the world. "This is world’s first seashells with sand installation art of Lord Ganesha," he wrote on Twitter.



The message 'World Peace' was inscribed on the art work.

The Bhubaneswar-based artist had earlier created a sand art of Lord Ganesha by using plastic bottles.

Pattnaik, an internationally renowned artist and Padmashree awardee, has also created arts of para-badminton player Pramod Bhagat and Lord Krishna on Janmashtami this year.
