"I have done 30 cm of carving on chalk, on marble, I have done a 1 cm painting. Basically, I have used all the things available in the households only to create these pieces of art," he added.

Notably, another artist Satyanarayan Moharana of Berhampur city of Ganjam district, who is known for creating miniature sculptures, had recently attempted to make the smallest miniature of Lord Ganesha.

"I have made the world's smallest Lord Ganesha by carving it on the stone. Its measurements are 3mm, 5 mm, 1cm. I have also made a small Ganesha from Alum (Phitkari) in order to reduce water pollution. Alum gets easily dissolved in water," Moharana had said while speaking to .
