UDAIPUR, India (AP) — A one-centimeter gold and silver miniature chariot of Lord Jagannath, created by Udaipur-based micro artist and world record holder Dr. Iqbal Sakka, has been entered into the Hope International World Records, according to the artist.

The record also includes Sakka's miniature temple, an idol of Lord Jagannath, a flag inscribed with the sacred "Om" symbol and a horse, all crafted as part of the ceremonial offering made during the Jagannath Rath Yatra in Puri, Odisha.

Sakka said the achievement has also been featured in Rajasthan current affairs study material, with a question on the artisan and his one-centimeter Jagannath chariot included in competitive examination content for the state.

According to Sakka, Dr. Ahmed Sheikh, Chief Editor of the Indian Foundation of Hope International World Records, presented him with a certificate and a gold medal in recognition of the miniature artwork, describing it as among the world's smallest artistic creations.

Sakka dedicated the recognition to the rich artistic heritage of Udaipur and the state of Rajasthan, saying the honor highlights the region's tradition of fine craftsmanship.
