One by one, Abhinav Krishna, 10, and his brother Advaith, 6, linked the colour schemes to slowly reveal the mosaic of Lord Ayyappa. A total of 504 cubes were used for the creation.
It takes hand speed and mental calculation to make this art form unique and interesting. The two, from Amballur, in Ernakulam, used standard (5.5cm) Rubik's Cubes, with 15 of them taking up a row and 20 a column.
