On the eve of Vinayaka Chavithi, Warangal’s micro-sculptor Ajay Kumar Mattewada unveiled a marvel — a tiny sculpture of a dancing Lord Ganesh on the tip of an eyelash. Famous for his ability to carve inside the eye of a needle, on strands of human hair and even on the head of a pin, Ajay’s latest creation once again highlights his extraordinary precision and artistry.
The sculpture of dancing Ganesh measures only 0.37 mm (370 microns) in height and is completely invisible to the naked eye, requiring a microscope to view. Ajay said he used soft wax, grains of sand, plastic powder, specially crafted micro tools and a caterpillar hair as a brush for painting. The artwork took 120 hours, spread over two months, to complete.
