Back in 2012, Indian sand sculptor Sudarsan Pattinaik and 30 of his students shaped nearly 5000 tons of sand into a massive installation depicting 500 Santas or ‘Sand-tas’ on the beach behind Panthanivas hotel in Puri, Odisha, India. Intended to raise awareness about global warming, the displaced Santas were sculpted along with one large sand sculpture of Jesus and the message “Go green, save Earth.”

“I always try to give some awareness messages through my sculpture to the world so I chose the awareness about global warming hrough Santas as the subject of the year end and I hope the sand sculpture of Santa clauses will place in the Limca Book of World Records,” said Pattinaik.

"Limca Book of World records"? Yeah, it's like the Guinness book except it's based in India and owned by Coca Cola.
