Manash Roy, a resident of Birnagar in Raiganj, has made a miniature Durga idol ahead of the autumnal festivity, which is just 2mm tall and needs to be viewed through a magnifying glass.

Roy, who runs a spectacles shop in Karandighi of North Dinajpur, had earlier made another 6mm Durga idol. Since a young age, Roy has been making “micro paintings” and had sketched portraits of prominent personalities on rice grains. “My aim is recognition from the Guinness Book of World Records,” he said.
