Almost 30 years ago, sand art was an alien concept in India, but that didn't stop 7 year old Sudarsan from spending hours on the beach creating beautiful sand sculptures. Little did he know that he would grow up to be one of the most renowned sand artists worldwide.

He had no idea that people take years of training to master this art form, all he had was a God gifted talent and his creative ideas. Born in one of the most beautiful cities in India: Puri, Sudarsan has his name listed in world records for sculpting the largest Santa Claus measuring nearly 100 feet long.

This is just one of the many acclaims won by Sudarsan, other than uncountable championships to his name. Sudarsan's art is much more than merely sculpting sand on beaches, his art is about awareness and a better world. He has built massive and beautiful sculptures about AIDS awareness, global warming, nuclear war, swine flu awareness, saving turtles and many more.  He created a 15 feet high sculpture of Hindu God, Ganesha, to spread awareness about potential dangers of global warming. He depicted Lord Ganesha traveling on a boat that was sailing on water coming from melting glaciers in the Himalayas. He also keeps up to date with historical events all over the world, and pays tribute in his own style.
