A portrait of Shivaji Maharaj was also inaugurated. Nitin Dinesh Kamble, who works as a high-tech animator at a private company in Mumbai, set a world record by creating a 10X8 feet mosaic portrait in 10 days using 46,080 plastic bits of six different colours. Speaking to ANI, he said, "I have made a portrait of Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj. I have used 46,080 plastic bits to make it. In India, there is a ban on plastic but there is not a lot we can do about the plastic that is already in the market. I was also working full time so I had to spend my nights making the portrait. It took about 10 days for me to complete the portrait. I purchased the raw material from Bhubaneswar and coloured it in six different colours myself."
