Come the winter months of January and February when the sprawling Brahmaputra beaches abounds with sand, the master sand sculptor will churn out a sand sculpture. His proposed sand sculpture will be crafted near the Saraighat Bridge.
BRAHMAPUTRA, THE lifeline of Assam has been the source of both awe and admiration as well as dread and fear. The mighty Brahmaputra, the only male river in the country has been scripting untold miseries for the people of Assam since time immemorial through its fury during the monsoons, apart from being the sole source of sustenance of the largely agrarian society. The Brahmaputra has also been inspiring poets and writers over the ages for its grandeur. Now the river beaches that has been untamed since long are all set to witness a never before exploit of its rich potentials.
Come the winter months of January and February when the sprawling Brahmaputra beaches abounds with sand, the master sand sculptor will churn out a sand sculpture. His proposed sand sculpture will be crafted near the Saraighat Bridge and Patnaik had promised it to be an artistic extravaganza. Patnaik was in Gawahati to attend a workshop jointly organised by the Journalists’ Union of Assam and Assam State Committee of Association of Small and Medium Newspapers of India.

While interacting with the select audience that mainly included artists and students, Patnaik recalled his earlier visit to Assam a few years back during the Brahmaputra Beach Festival. While expressing his overwhelmingness at the sight of the Brahmaputra, Patnaik desired that the more of such beach festivals be held in the state to promote both tourism and art. Patnaik also expressed his keenness to share his expertise with interested students of sand art from the state in his institute situated in Bhubaneswar free of cost if such programmes are sponsored either from the government or some organisations.
