The art piece, which is 12 cm tall and 9 cm wide, showcases Saswat’s exceptional artistic skills. He carefully placed every matchstick to recreate the sacred pilgrimage site with precision and took four days to complete the model. 

Saswat, a resident of Kumbharapada locality in Puri, shared his inspiration behind the creation and said, “The Kedarnath Temple holds immense spiritual significance. This model is my tribute to Lord Shiva and a heartfelt greeting for Mahashivratri.”

His passion for crafting miniature structures has earned him widespread admiration for his precision and artistic representation of sacred sites. 

Sahoo’s journey into miniature sculpting began during the COVID-19 lockdown. He first gained recognition after crafting a stunning miniature version of Ayodhya’s Ram Temple using 7,780 matchsticks.

In 2022, he meticulously built three miniature chariots of Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra, using 4,830 matchsticks. The intricate project took him 18 days to complete.
