Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik's 75th Birthday: Pastry chef Rakesh Kumar took 15 days to complete the sculpture.
To commemorate the Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik's 75th birthday, pastry chef Rakesh Kumar Sahu from Begunia of Khordha created a spectacular chocolate sculpture weighing around 72 kg.
The 32-year-old Sahu who runs an institute of baking and pastry art at Tanka Pani Road, took 15 days to complete the sculpture with the help of six of his students.
An avid sports enthusiast, Mr Sahu said he came up with the idea to create the sculpture as a tribute to Patnaik for his steadfast support for Indian Hockey over the last several years, which resulted in a spectacular performance by the Men's and Women's National Teams in the recently concluded Tokyo Olympic Games 2020.
"I was celebrating the bronze medal win just like the rest of the country when it struck me that I should do something special for our Chief Minister who stood by the National Hockey Teams like a rock during its lowest phase," Mr Sahu said.
