As India celebrates its 72nd Independence Day today, many have expressed their love for the country in different, unique ways. While some, like Sachin Tendulkar, have shared inspirational messages on social media to celebrate Independence Day, others have wished their friends and family through WhatsApp messages. Padma Shri-winning sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik is also celebrating this momentous occasion, and he has created a beautiful sand tribute to mark India's 72nd Independence Day. "72nd #HappyIndependenceDay to all my countrymen," he wrote on Twitter, sharing a picture of his sand sculpture.
Created at the Puri Beach in Odisha, the striking sand sculpture wishes everyone a happy Independence Day. It has been created with saffron, white and green-coloured sand - the colours of India's National Flag.
