Ganpatipule is all set to host a National Sand Art Festival in January 2014. This festival would be jointly hosted by JSW Foundation, a social development division of JSW group companies and Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) along with international sand artist, Sudarsan Pattnaik.
This festival would be the first national sand art festival in the western coast of India. At the prima facie level, the festival would be hosted for three to five days where more than 20 national sand artists would make sculptures with different themes. Before the festival, Sudarsan Pattnaik would organise a two days workshop for the local artists to encourage sand art in India. Promoting the local culture and tradition of Maharashtra is one of the key focus apart from promoting cleanliness of the beaches.
