"Sand animation is a new art form which we have performed abroad and for the first time in India on this show. This is a good platform to showcase our talent and promote our sand animation," Manas says.

He continues, "We have participated in cultural shows abroad in places like the US, Canada, Holland, Belgium etc. We have done sand sculptures of the Taj Mahal, Gandhiji, castles and awareness campaigns." So far on the show, the team has performed on topics like the food crisis, global warming and the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. "We always pick major social issues and try to solve it through our sand animation,"

Manas says. "We basically discuss our ideas with our family members, seniors and guru, Pattnaik before we implement them." The team has received appreciation from the judges and the public and have a fair chance at winning the title. Asked what they will do with the prize money if they should win, pat comes the reply: "Our dream it to open a sand art park at Puri. The park will have sand sculpture, paintings, photo gallery, classes, and shows." So who do they think is the team to beat to fulfill their dreams? "To be honest we have not thought about it. We have a unique talent so we only hope that people like our performances and vote for us."
