Mango Finds Its Throne In Sudarsan Pattnaik's Sand Art For Voter Awareness On Lok Sabha Polls Phase 6: WATCH

Sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik created a mango-themed sand art on the Puri beach to promote voting awareness. The art features the Election Commission logo, its slogan, and an inked finger.

Sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik has turned to the 'King of Fruits' — mango — to highlight his art done for the sixth phase of polling for the Lok Sabha elections. In his latest creation, Sudarsan Pattnaik used 500 mangoes to decorate his sand art on the Puri beach in Odisha. The Puri Lok Sabha constituency is going to polls on Saturday.

Sharing a video of his art, Pattnaik posted on X: "I have used 500 kilograms of mangoes on sand art on the Puri beach in Odisha with the message "Your Vote Your Voice " to create awareness about voting."

The art featured the Election Commission's logo, and an inked finger lined up using green mangoes. The art also put out the Election Commission of India's slogan, spelling "Chunav Ka Parv, Desh Ka Garv".

His previous art installation about the ongoing elections was a sand sculpture of 100 feet x 40 feet. That sand art, also on the Puri beach in Odisha, featured 2,000 balls and bowls with the message "Your Vote Your Future".

Ahead of the third phase, he created a sand art featuring the map of India as the ink on the finger.

Sudarsan Pattnaik is a 2014 Padma Shri awardee. He has also received multiple international awards. He is the first winner of the Golden Sand Art Award, which he got in 2019.
