Surat Artist Crafts Detailed 6mm Ganesha Idol on Pencil Tip During Ganeshotsav
During Ganeshotsav celebrations in Surat, artist Patel Mayank Dineshbhai created a detailed Lord Ganesha idol measuring just 6 millimeters on the tip of a pencil. Inspired by his earlier work carving alphabets on pencil tips, Mayank spent five days crafting the miniature sculpture, requiring intense focus and patience. His tiny idol contrasts with the festival's large statues and has attracted attention for its intricate detail and unique form. Mayank plans to immerse the pencil in water during the Visarjan ritual.
