Famed sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik created a sand art of Lord Ganesh by using about 7,000 seashells on Puri beach on Thursday, the eve of Ganapati festival.

The 5-foot high sand installation is the first of its kind in the world, Pattnaik claimed in a release.

The message ‘World Peace’ was inscribed on the art work.

Pattnaik had earlier created a sand art of Lord Ganesh by using plastic bottles. PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
