A sand sculpture bearing portraits of women including Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, made by sand artist Sudersan Pattnaik, is pictured at at Puri beach, some 65 kilometers away from Bhubaneswar on March 7, 2014, on the eve of International Women's Day. The United Nations says only 40 percent of adult women are literate, and they are frequently the victims of violence and abuse. International Women's Day is marked on March 8 every year.
