World Record in Largest Photo Collection of International Cricket Players

With a sizable photo collection that includes India’s most well-known cricket player, Virat Kohli, he just set a World Record from the Worldwide Book of records in London for the largest photo collection of international cricket players.

He has amassed a record-breaking 3030 images of international cricket players taken from newspapers.

Additionally, he also has a collection of various well-known figures, including Sri Jagannath, the renowned Lord of Odisha, the Chief Minister of Odisha, and the Prime Minister of India.

And as Dillip has stated, “my favorite interest is collecting photographs, hence I’ll endeavor to pursue it in the future”.

He always had a deep interest in God and nature ever since he was a child. He used to enjoy living in a village because of the environment. According to Kumar, “Natural surroundings usually make me feel at peace; I am blindly in love with nature.”

He began drawing in school when he was 7 years old and was constantly inspired to create new works of art. He received a fine arts degree from Prachin Kala Kendra in Chandigarh, where he also completed a five-year course that gave him a deep understanding of paintings and art.

He further enrolled in the State Institute of Handicrafts training in Bhubhaneshwar once he had some knowledge of the traditional stone carving of Odisha art.

After acquiring this much knowledge, he introduced KALAKUNJA, a handicraft store in Bhubhaneshwar, in 1999. But, after making only a small profit, the store failed after four years.

After struggling to keep up with his daily expenses, he began collecting photos from the daily ODIA newspaper, where he gathered numerous images of the Prime Minister of India, the President of India, the Vice President of India, the Chief Minister of India, and the Governor of Odisha, as well as interesting articles of Odia.
