An army of sand artists have created the world's largest-ever land art project - by carving intricate Hindu symbols into beaches across the globe. <br /><br />The attempt began on September 2 when artist Julian Richardson carved a 400ft-wide mosaic into Brean beach in Somerset. <br /><br />It took seven hours for Julian and his six helpers to create the enormous figure of the 'Sri Yantra' - an ancient symbol representing balance between opposing forces. <br /><br />Since then a further 15 artists have created similar geometric designs in countries such as Australia, France, New Zealand and the US.
