It is like silent narration to a story and you sit all the time waiting for seeing the coming incidents that complete the previous ones. It is based on suspense as you look forward to know what will happen at the end, you have no idea about the sand story so you wait. The performance is accompanied by playing music which affects the audiences more while watching the sand artwork.
