Puri, Feb. 4 -- Odisha-based sand artist Manas Sahoo marked World Cancer Day with a meaningful sand sculpture at Puri Beach near the lighthouse to spread awareness about cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment.

The sculpture, made from tons of sand, showed a large pair of hands gently holding several human faces. On the right side of the sculpture, featured a globe with a purple ribbon, the international symbol for cancer awareness. The art also featured the message "United by Unique" written at the top.

Sahoo took to his X account to share a video of his art, with a caption that read, "On the occasion of #WorldCancerDay, we have made sand art at Puri Lighthouse Beach, Puri, Odisha, India."
