Puri (Odisha) [India], Nov. 14 (ANI): India's renowned sand artist Sudarshan Pattnaik has created a sculpture on the beach to extend his support to the government's move to scrap Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 currency notes. Dedicated to the demonetisation of banknotes from the financial system, the sculpture bears the message, "RIP black money" and "Beginning of a Clean India".

Pattnaik has won many awards for his sand art, and is known for his creativity of combining art and activism. He has participated in more than 50 international sand sculpture championships across the world and won many awards for the country.
