Renowned sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik has created a sand sculpture of US President-elect Donald Trump, along with the message "Congrats President Donald Trump" at a beach in Puri, Odisha.
Pattnaik used about three tonnes of sand to create the four-feet-high sculpture.
"I congratulate Donald Trump on being elected the 45th President of the US. I hope that the US-India relationship will become stronger," said Pattnaik.
So far, Pattnaik has participated in over 50 international sand sculpture championships and festivals across the world and won several of them.
US President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn-in on Friday.
