He created 3D sand art of Lord Jagannath’s chariot (Nandighosa Ratha), which is 43.2 ft long and 35 ft wide. “On the occasion of Ratha Yatra, we have created a biggest 3D sand art chariot of Lord Jagannath’s Nandighosa Ratha of 43.2 ft long and 35 ft wide at Puri beach in Odisha. We hope it will be a new record,” Sudarsan tweeted.
