Bhubaneswar: Renowned Indian sand sculptor Sudarshan Patnaik installed a Santa Claus out of tomato at the Gopalpur beach for Christmas on Sunday, PTI reported.

The giant Santa is 27 feet long, and Patnaik claimed that his sculpture is the world's biggest tomato and sand installation of Santa. The sculpture is 60 feet wide and weighs 1.5 tonnes.

The Padma Shri awardee said he completed the sculpture at the Gopalpur beach in the Ganjam district with the help of 15 of his students.

Patnaik, the Padma Shri awardee, said that the sculpture was completed with the help of 15 of his students at the beach located in the Ganjam district of Odisha.

He told reporters, "We have set records earlier, too, during Christmas by creating the biggest Santa Claus using different mediums. This time, we have used sand and tomato."

The internationally acclaimed artist has been making sand sculptures based on a variety of themes over the years.

Earlier this month, Mr Pattnaik created the logo of India's G20 presidency on the sand after India officially took over the chair of the grouping in November.

He was honoured with the Padma Shri in 2014 for his immense contribution to art.
