He said he had spent about six months in making the beads, which is five meters long and weighs more than 2.35 kg. He made the balls of the beads using thick cushion forms. Every single bead has a diameter of five inches. He has painted the beads using a special mixed color to make them unique and attractive.
Shamsuddin has also made a special box to keep the beads. He got the idea when a friend asked him while he was making small balls using cushion forms whether he was making beads. “This encouraged me to make this set of beads,” he added. V.P. Muhammad Ali, managing director of JNH, commended Shamsuddin’s artistic skills.
Shamsuddin, who spends his spare time engaging in craft works, said a number of people had asked him to sell the beads. “I would like to present this beads to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah, if possible, as a gift from Indian expatriates,” he said.
