THEY deftly juggled and rolled the Rubik's Cubes, arraying them from the bottom up on to a specially designed metal canvas.
JAISON WILSON @Pathanamthitta

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. The brothers attribute their expertise in Rubik's Cube to their mother, Indu Bijoy, who learned to solve it by watching YouTube videos.

According to Indu, she has been training Abhinav, a student of grade 6, since the age of five.
