He said that he made the sculpture using six tonnes of sand. He described that Lord Siva and Goddess Parvati were regarded as the Universal Father and Mother to the mankind so he made the sculpture in the right context.
He informed that the sand art was 12 feet in height and 25 feet in width. Srinivas also made six Siva Lingas on either side of the idols. The villagers and many passers-by come to see this mega sand art at the temple and some enthusiasts captured the art in their mobile phones.
