his work shows devotion through a very small sculpture While many festival creations are known for their large size. The idea came to Mayank two years ago while he was experimenting with a pencil. He first carved the alphabet of his name on the tip of a pencil. This made him think about whether he could create a Ganesha idol in the same way. He then wondered if an idol of Lord Ganesha could also be made there. He tried creating one and eventually completed it. The tiny Ganesha idol has now become a notable part of the Ganeshotsav celebrations in Surat, attracting attention for its intricate details and unique form.
Because of its detailed craftsmanship, mayank’s tiny idol has become a centre of attraction.
Mayank said the thought came to him after carving his name on a pencil tip. Speaking to ANI, Mayank said it took him five days of hard work and deep concentration to complete the idol. He also said that the work required immense focus.
