About five tonnes of sand was used in the sculpture and students of Pattnaik's Sand Art Institute joined hands to complete it, said the artiste.
"It was our culture to welcome guests with diya arti. So I have created this sculpture by using diyas to welcome the US president,” he said.
Mr Pattnaik had created another sand sculpture of Biden when he won the presidential election in November 2020.
A Padma awardee, he has participated in more than 65 international sand art competitions and festivals around the globe and has won many prizes for the country.
