Pattnaik has created a sand sculpture of both the leaders to congratulate them on the historic victory.

He used about 10 tonnes of sand and took 6 hours to complete the sculpture.

"We are very happy that the first time a woman of Indian origin was elected as Vice President. I would like to congratulate Kamala Harris," Pattnaik said.
