Anil Kamble, An art teacher from Sangamner, claims that he had made the world's smallest Ganesh idol. The idol he made is much smaller than a mustard seed while it measures as small as 0.68 mm after it was measured with micro meter screw gauge and a traveling microscope. This is a size smaller than the mustard seed.
Kamble is an Applied Arts graduate and also has a diploma for arts teacher which he procured from the Abhinav Kala Mahavidyalaya. He mentions that the idol measured no more than 0,22 milligrams. What shocks us is that he had created an idol that cannot be see without a magnifying lens without using lenses of any sort. The idol was made out of M-seal the popular waterproofing glue.
The idol is set to be auctioned in Mumbai and 25% money from the auction would be donated to an organization that is fighting female foeticide, and another 25% would be donated to the Sangram Mukbadhir Vidyalaya, Niwasi Matimand Vidyalaya in Saykhindi.
He already had a few records under his belt. In 2008, he had made 1,000 Ganesh idols in a never-before time of 64 hours and 10 minutes, while each idol had a different appearance.
