Padma Shri awardee Sudarsan Pattnaik has sculpted a 5-foot sand masterpiece of Maa Samaleswari at Puri Beach to mark the Nuakhai festival.


The sculpture features a farmer couple offering newly harvested rice to the goddess, symbolizing gratitude and prosperity.

Nuakhai, a major agrarian festival in Western Odisha, celebrates the first harvest of the season. It is a time when families come together to offer prayers for abundance and well-being. Pattnaik, known globally for his evocative sand art, shared his creation on social media with the message:

“#NuakhaiJuhar Heartfelt greetings on the auspicious occasion of Nuakhai! May Maa Samaleswari bless us all with a bountiful harvest, happiness, and prosperity.”

Adding a personal touch to the celebration, Pattnaik revealed that his daughter Saanvi has lent her voice to a Sambalpuri song for the first time, specially composed for Nuakhai. This musical debut adds a layer of familial pride and cultural continuity to the occasion.

Speaking about the festival, Pattnaik said, “Nuakhai is a major festival in Odisha. On this occasion, we try to convey good wishes to everyone through sand art.”

The sculpture and accompanying song have struck a chord with locals and admirers across the country, blending tradition, art, and emotion in a uniquely Odia celebration.
