Today saw the swearing-in of Droupadi Murmu as India’s 15th president in the Central Hall of Parliament by Chief Justice of India, NV Ramana. Murmu, who hails from the state of Odisha, has now also been depicted in a sculpture made of sand by a renowned artist from the state - Sudarsan Pattnaik. Droupadi Murmu was also previously honoured with a sand sculpture created by Pattnaik while she was still the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance's presidential candidate.
Sudarsan Pattnaik posted a picture of his sand sculpture on Twitter along with a sincere wish for Droupadi Murmu. It reads, “Today is A Historic Day For The Nation. President-elect Smt #DroupadiMurmu ji will take oath as the 15th President of India. My sand art at Puri beach in Odisha.” The write-up is also accompanied by the emoji of the national flag of India.
