Each grain matters. When I do a live sand art show, I’m really telling a story that exists only for that moment. ### How My Shows Work I draw with sand on a lightbox, and you watch the images transform on a big screen. Music matches the visuals - it’s what I call a ‘Sand Melody’. Every show is different because every story is different. Once the story ends, the art goes away - bas, wahi hai iska magic (that's the magic of it). ### Made for Your Occasion - I create custom sand storytelling for events, whether it’s a brand launch, a corporate journey, or a tribute to someone special. - For culture or national events, I bring in Indian roots. Mera Bharat mahaan! Mythology, festivals, nature - all of it inspires my sand art. - Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries - I love turning your memories into moving visuals. ### My Approach - Sand is simple, natural, and eco-friendly. I believe art should respect the earth. - 800+ shows, from big summits like G-20 to family gatherings - each gave me a new story to tell. Every handful of sand carries a bit of India’s soul. That’s what I try to share, wherever I go. ## Highlights Browse through Raghavendra Hegde's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/sandartisthegde/live-sand-art-performances/featured) - [Video: This video shows the magic of sand art as it happens.

I’m Raghavendra Hegde, sand artist from Bangalore. Sure, I’ve got a post-grad in visual art, but sand—aye, that’s my real adda (spot). It’s not just art, it’s green art, eco-art. All those tiny grains, coming together, like Vasudaiva Kutumbakam (One World, One Family). Done 800+ shows, even performed at G-20, and got the 'Indian Iconic Artist' award from Pooja Hegde—funny coincidence, right? Connecting to my roots at Prakruthi Habba keeps me grounded. ### My work - **Live sand art for events**: I perform live sand art, telling custom stories for any event—corporate, award nights, even summits. - **Sand paintings and digital art for sale**: I make sustainable sand paintings and digital pieces—abstract, portraits, all limited edition ecoart. - **Art with a message**: My art celebrates culture, country, and sustainability. More than sand, it’s about connecting people. ## More services from Raghavendra Hegde - [Sand & Digital Artwork](https://mytribe.in/sandartisthegde/sand-digital-artwork) · ₹8-50K per artwork (estimate) ## Book To book Raghavendra Hegde, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Live%20Sand%20Art%20Performances%20by%20Raghavendra%20Hegde.)
