Hyd: Guinness world records holder unveils Origami masterpiece of Lord Venkateswara Swamy

Hyderabad, Apr 29 (UNI) Guinness World Records holder Ravi Kumar Toleti unveiled a breathtaking Origami masterpiece of Lord Venkateswara Swamy, at Kendriya Vidyalaya, Tirumalagiri, here on Tuesday.
Measuring 7.5 ft by 12 ft, it is crafted entirely from intricate origami folds.
The artwork stands as a testament to Ravi Kumar’s unparalleled craftsmanship and perseverance and has been created using more than 40,500 individual origami folds over four years.
Origami, the art of paper folding, has evolved far beyond its traditional roots.
This artwork of Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy is crafted entirely through the intricate technique of origami folding.
Each unit, composed of 15 precise folds, is interlocked to bring the divine form to life. These folded units are meticulously mounted onto a paper card, and the entire piece is proposed to be framed elegantly with teak wood and glass.
The grand image is divided into nearly 40 sections, with each segment, ranging from 2’ x 2’ to 4’ x 2’, designed separately on grid paper. Every part is vividly coloured using sketch pens to perfectly capture the details of that portion.
Speaking on the occasion, Ravi Kumar said “My ultimate dream is to see this artwork adorning the sacred walls of Lord Venkateswara’s holy abode at Tirumala.”
Vidyalays Incharge Principal K Lalithkala Saseendran, felicitated Ravi Kumar who is a teacher at Kendriya Vidyalaya. UNI KNR SSP
