Sand animation at CWG opening

Sand animation accompanied by a theme song on Mahatma Gandhi will enthrall audience at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games Oct 3.

Noted sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik will create this unique art along with three of his students in synchronization with the theme song by music maestro A.R. Rahman.

‘I have the invitation from the organizing committee, and we are already practicing it’ Pattnaik, currently in the US, told IANS.

‘We are brining at least 10 kilograms of sand from the golden sea beach of Puri to create the art work,’ he said.
