In a remarkable display of precision and creativity, Odisha’s micro-artist Bijay Kumar Reddy has set a new Guinness World Record for crafting the world’s smallest wooden spoon, measuring just 1.13 millimeters in length. The spoon is so small that it can easily pass through the eye of a needle.
Reddy, popularly known as the 'Odisha Chalk Artist', created the record-breaking piece in Berhampur, Odisha, in January this year. His intricate creation surpassed the previous record of 1.4 mm, held by another Indian artist, Dr. Manoj M, in 2024.

Sharing his excitement after the recognition, Reddy said, “I wanted to attempt this record because I have a deep passion for art and creativity. Being known as the Odisha Chalk Artist, I always try to do something unique that represents both my skills and my state.”
The micro-sculptor, who is renowned for creating art on chalk pieces and miniature objects, spent several days crafting the wooden spoon under a magnifying lens using specialized micro tools. The process required steady hands, immense patience, and exceptional focus.
In his recent post on his social media handle on Instagram, Reddy shared artwork he made on the occasion of Ganesh Utsav. He wrote, "On the occasion of Ganesh Puja, created a 3 cm high Ganesh idol with the theme of World Peace. This miniature idol carries the message of harmony and unity for all. Happy Ganesh puja."
In an extraordinary feat of patience and agricultural skill, a man from Malaysia has entered the Guinness World Records for cultivating the world’s longest kohlrabi, a vegetable rarely known for its size. According to Guinness World Records’ official website, Gregory K.K. Chow achieved this record by growing a kohlrabi that measured an astonishing 2.320 meters (7 feet 7.3 inches) in length.
