About Live Sand Art Performance
Why I Do This
Sand is my language. I use it to tell stories that matter - from a couple’s love story to a company’s journey or a tribute to our soldiers. My biggest joy is performing for the Indian Army, but honestly, every story is special to me. I’ve set 5 world records for non-stop sand art, but what stays with me is the emotion in the room.
What Happens On Stage
- I use a lightbox and coloured sand to create scenes live, right in front of you.
- An overhead camera projects every move onto a big screen, so nobody misses a detail.
- Music and narration tie it all together, making it a full experience, not just a show.
What I Can Create
- Custom sand animation for events - corporate milestones, product launches, or a leader’s journey.
- Wedding sand art performance - your love story, anniversaries, or family legacy.
- Patriotic sand art tribute - stories of bravery, historical battles, and “Jai Hind!” moments.
- Spiritual and mythological tales - Ramayana, Mahabharata, or stories of Mahavir Swami.
What Makes My Shows Different
People say my work is fast, vibrant, and emotional. Even M.S. Dhoni called me the “fastest sand artist.” Sometimes, the audience gets teary-eyed or gives a standing ovation - woh jo feeling hai, bas, uske liye sab kuch karta hoon (that feeling, that’s what I do it for).
Tusi great ho, ekdam maza aa gaya! (You are great, it was really fun!) That’s the connection I want with you.

My Story
Hi, I'm Neha Umak. Sand artist by heart, and every time my fingers touch the sand, it feels like magic. Biggest joy? Performing for our Indian Army, in places like Jammu and Dehradun - nothing beats that feeling. Won some records, yeah, but the real award is when someone hugs me after a show, teary-eyed, saying my art moved them. With my partner Kundan, we travel, we create, we share. Ganpati Bappa, I always take his blessings before a big show. Art is my prayer.
