Bhubaneshwar (Odisha) October 06 (ANI): With the ICC Cricket World Cup fever set to grip the nation, an Odisha-based miniature artist, L Eswar Rao, has chosen a unique way to express his love for the game. With the cricketing tournament begun on October 5, Rao has crafted the World Cup trophy on a turmeric, as a tribute to the Indian team. It took two days to complete the trophy from bottom to top. Speaking to ANI, Rao said, “I thought that making this World Cup trophy a bit different, so I have crafted the smallest '1 Inch' 'World Cup' trophy using turmeric. It took me two days to complete from top to bottom. Making the World Cup trophy is difficult as all three stumps should be visible and the ball needs to be on top. We need sharp tools to shape the art and make it visible in the smallest size," Rao, who hails from Jatni village, Odisha also used the opportunity to extend good wishes to the Indian team.
