Kajal’s Crafting Glory

It was a quiet night in the small town of Ramaniya, Gujarat, when Kajal Bhachubhai Danicha, a passionate 23-yearold crochet artist, began an extraordinary journey. Armed with nothing but wool, a crochet hook, and unwavering determination, she set out to achieve something remarkable -- a record-breaking feat in crocheting. Over the next 42 hours, Kajal continued the craft without interruption, creating a flair blanket that earned her a place in the India Book of Records (IBR) for the longest duration of crocheting.

Kajal started her challenge at precisely 12 am on July 29, 2024, and worked tirelessly until 6 pm on July 31, 2024. By the end of it, her creation - a beautifully crafted flair blanket measuring 28.5 inches in width and 34 inches in length - was more than just a piece of wool art. It was a testament to her endurance, passion, and love for the craft. The achievement was officially recognised by Milan M Soni, the adjudicator from the India Book

of Records, who personally verified the attempt and honoured Kajal with a medal and a record certificate.

For Kajal, this was not just a hobby; it was her life’s passion. “I belong to a middle-class family from Kutch, and crocheting has been an integral part of my life for the last five years,” Kajal shared with the India Book of Records magazine. Her love for crochet runs deep, so much so that she turned her passion into a business called ‘Crochet Crowd’. Through this venture, she showcases her handcrafted crochet pieces, making a name for herself in the world of craft.

The journey to setting a record wasn’t inspired by any individual, but by Kajal’s childhood dream. “I don’t have a specific person who motivated me to set this record,” she explained. “When I was in school, I heard about the records. From that moment, I was curious about it and dreamed of holding a

The record for the longest duration of crocheting was set by Kajal Bhachubhai Danicha of Kutch, Gujarat, who created a flair blanket measuring 28.5 inches in width and 34 inches in length by crocheting with wool.

record myself. Crocheting gave me the opportunity to fulfil that dream.”

What makes her achievement even more impressive is that Kajal never set out to prepare for a record. “I didn’t do any special practice for this attempt,” she said. “Along with my daily crocheting, I held this record on sheer self-confidence.” Kajal dedicates 6-7 hours daily to crocheting, dividing her time between early mornings, afternoons, and late nights, all

while managing the responsibilities of her daily routine. Her dedication to her craft is clear, and it’s a passion that she nurtures every day.

Kajal’s commitment to crocheting is supported by her family, who have always encouraged her creative pursuits. “I feel that crocheting is a God-gifted thing for me,” she said. “I have had a great interest in crafts since childhood, and my family has always supported me in improving my skills.” With their encouragement, Kajal has honed her skills and made a name for herself. In addition to her love for crocheting, Kajal enjoys travelling, attending craft exhibitions, and learning new business skills. These interests, she believes, will help her grow both personally and professionally. Her dream is to take ‘Crochet Crowd’ to the global market and present her crocheting skills internationally.

India’s First 3D Selfie Science Museum

On the bright morning of October 2, 2024, the air was filled with festivity and reverence as record holders, achievers, creators, innovators, and people of influence came together to celebrate the birth anniversaries of two of its most cherished leaders - Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, and Lal Bahadur Shastri, the former Prime Minister who gave the stirring call of “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan.” Their legacies of peace, courage, and service to the nation were deeply felt across the country. Amidst this backdrop of joy and patriotism, a remarkable event unfolded in Faridabad (Delhi NCR) - the India Book of Records (IBR) Annual International Convocation.

In a first-of-its-kind initiative, India witnessed the 3D Selfie Science Museum launch at the IBR’s corporate headquarters during its prestigious annual international convocation. The

museum, brimming with innovation and creativity, became the event’s focal point, symbolizing the union of science, technology, and art. As curious eyes marvelled at the interactive installations, guests from across the world gathered to celebrate the brilliance of Indian and international achievers.

The 3D Selfie Science Museum offered an enchanting experience for visitors, with selfie points that made science come alive. Towering images of India’s lunar mission, Mahatma Gandhi, the majestic Mount Everest, and even a life-sized version of the snakes and ladders game transported onlookers into a world of wonder. Visitors could also pose with backgrounds of the India Book of Records monthly magazine’s cover, a historical cave, and the timeless tale of the tortoise and the hare, all captured with the vividness of 3D technology.

In a first-of-its-kind initiative, India witnessed the launch of its inaugural 3D Selfie Science Museum at the India Book of Records corporate headquarters during its prestigious annual international convocation held on October 2-3, 2024.

The two-day international convocation was a grand celebration of remarkable achievements, where record holders and dignitaries from across India and the world came together. Among the esteemed guests were former Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Ashwini Kumar Choubey, Delhi MLA Somnath Bharti, and senior deputy mayor of Faridabad Devender Chaudhary. Dr R R Fuliya, a retired IAS officer from Haryana, also graced the event as a special guest. At the same time, international participants from Vietnam, Nepal, Malaysia, and Indonesia added a global touch to the ceremony.

One of the event’s most anticipated moments was the address by Dr Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury, the Editor-in-Chief of India

Book of Records. In his speech, he emphasised the role of the 3D Selfie Science Museum as a revolutionary way to inspire young minds. “This museum allows us to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and real-world application. It’s an engaging, hands-on method of understanding science that will inspire students and learners across the nation,” he said, capturing the essence of this futuristic initiative.

Neerja Roy Chowdhury, the Managing Editor of the India Book of Records, echoed the sentiment, celebrating the resilience and perseverance of the achievers. “This convocation is a tribute to the extraordinary spirit of innovation, dedication, and knowledge that defines IBR. Every record-holder here today exemplifies the human drive to push beyond boundaries,” she said passionately.

Achievers from Around the Globe

The convocation was not just about India but embraced a spirit of global collaboration and recognition. Esteemed dignitaries such as Dr Nguyen Hoang Anh, Vice President of the Vietnam Records Organization (VietKings), and Deepak Chandra Sen, Chief Editor of Nepal Book of Records, were present to support and celebrate the record holders. In attendance were also Vietnamese record holders Tran Thanh Toan, Founder and Chairman of WiT Training Organisation, Nguyen Thi Ha, Le Huynh My Tram, and Le Que Minh, whose accomplishments were as inspiring as they were diverse.

The event recognised numerous Indian record holders who excelled in diverse fields, from physical endurance to artistic expression. Among the honoured were Rakesh Chandola, Devansh Singhal, Piyali Ghosh, and many more. They represented a

cross-section of talent spanning from children to seasoned professionals. The diversity of records highlighted the collective excellence that the India Book of Records seeks to celebrate. One of the international highlights was the recognition of Vietnamese artist Chu Bao Que, who has dedicated his life to preserving and promoting Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage. Known for his work in traditional Vietnamese folk arts, particularly the Quan Ho folk songs and Cheo opera, Chu Bao Que’s contributions to cultural preservation were honoured with an honorary professor degree from the World Record University (WRU). His presence at the convocation was a testament to the global ties forged through shared values of excellence and preservation.

Legacy for Future Generations

The convocation also highlighted remarkable feats such as the “Maximum Continuous Squats by Students Simultaneously” - an awe-inspiring achievement by 101 students from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, who completed 6200 squats in 2 hours and 25 minutes. Their dedication and stamina were a true reflection of the spirit of record-breaking that the IBR aims to foster.

The India Book of Records, a premier record-keeping organization, has been the custodian of Indian records since 2006. Publishing an annual book featuring over 10,000 entries, IBR continues to play an instrumental role in celebrating the extraordinary achievements of individuals across the globe. Convocations like this one are a hallmark of its commitment to recognizing and nurturing talent in every sphere of life.

As the convocation ended, the gathering of record holders and international dignitaries reminded us that the pursuit of excellence knows no borders. The IBR International Convocation not only honoured individual achievements but also celebrated the collective spirit of humanity, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. This grand event, under the watchful eyes of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri’s legacies, was a

perfect tribute to the indomitable will of humanity. It left the attendees inspired, determined, and ready to embrace the future with renewed vigour.

Than Nong Tower: Asia’s Tallest Tower of Stone Mortars

In the heart of Lam Binh Industrial Park, Bac Ninh Province, Vietnam, a remarkable structure towers above its surroundings - the Than Nong Tower, known as the Tower of the Agricultural Deity. Standing at 15 metres and uniquely designed to resemble a vertical grain of rice, this architectural masterpiece comprises 1,012 stone mortars artfully arranged around its exterior. Inside, a solid concrete column frame provides the structure with stability and strength.

The creation of Than Nong Tower is a key feature of the Dong Do Village ecological area, a multifaceted project led by Dong Do Technical & Commercial Company Limited. This initiative, spearheaded by Chairman Tran Van Toan, aims to combine cultural preservation with community education. The ecological area boasts a collection of over 3,000 artifacts related to traditional agricultural practices, including stone mortars and millstones, showcasing the history of the Northern countryside.

Mr. Toan’s passion for collecting these artifacts stemmed from his observations of the impact of modernization on rural communities. “As agricultural production became more modern, many of these traditional tools were left to collect dust,” he reflects. Determined to preserve this cultural heritage, he invested time and resources into building a display area for these relics, ensuring that the memories of a bygone era remain alive for future generations.

In addition to the stunning display of traditional tools, the Dong Do Village project also incorporates educational programs aimed at local students. Traffic safety training and life skills

workshops are offered to students from nearby communities and those attending the Dong Do driving training and testing school. This holistic approach not only honours agricultural history but also equips the younger generation with essential skills for the modern world.

At the centre of this ecological area, the Than Nong Tower stands as a symbol of Vietnam’s agricultural legacy. Its five floors, divided by stone mortar displays, serve both aesthetic and educational purposes. Visitors can ascend the tower via stairs designed to mimic the shape of rice grains, immersing themselves in the cultural significance of wet rice cultivation. The collection of artifacts surrounding the tower creates an engaging environment that fosters appreciation for the agricultural traditions of the past.

The construction of the tower itself was a monumental challenge. Selecting stone mortars of similar size and transporting them to significant heights required meticulous planning and execution. With the expertise of architect Nguyen Sanh, renowned for his work in cultural restoration, the vision for Than Nong Tower was realized. The result is not only a remarkable structure but also a testament to the ingenuity and dedication of those involved.

Inside the tower, plans are underway to enhance the experience further with an innovative sound system and dynamic lighting that will reflect the seasonal transformations of rice - from vibrant green to golden yellow. This transformation will create a living exhibit, allowing visitors to experience the cycle of agriculture in real-time.

The significance of Than Nong Tower has not gone unnoticed. The Asia Book of Records officially recognized it as “The Tallest Tower Made of Stone Mortars in Asia.” This prestigious award was presented by the Vietnam Records Organization (VietKings) during a ceremony attended by esteemed figures, including Dr. Thang Van Phuc, former Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, and Dr. Le Doan Hop, former Minister of Information and Communications.

Founded in 2008, Dong Do Technical & Commercial Company Limited originally served as a driver training and testing centre. Today, it is evolving into a vibrant cultural tourist destination,

offering a blend of public works, entertainment, and immersive cultural experiences. Through initiatives like the Than Nong Tower, Mr. Toan is not only preserving the agricultural heritage of Vietnam but also fostering a space where history and modernity intersect, enriching the lives of visitors and the local community alike.

As visitors gather at Than Nong Tower, they are not just witnessing an architectural wonder; they are stepping into a narrative that honours the past while inspiring the future - a true celebration of Vietnam’s rich agricultural legacy.

Fingerprints Collection

Collecting fingerprints is a cornerstone of forensic science, offering a reliable and unique method for identifying individuals. Each person’s fingerprints are distinct, even among identical twins, making them invaluable in criminal investigations, legal proceedings, and security systems. In the forensic field, fingerprints are irrefutable evidence that can link a suspect to a crime scene, establish timelines, or even exonerate the innocent. Their durability over time, on surfaces ranging from paper to metal, adds to their value. On July 31, 2024, Aditya Degree and PG College (ADPGC), Surampalem, Andhra Pradesh, etched its name in the prestigious India Book of Records (IBR) by setting a remarkable record.

The college’s forensic science department, comprising 37 students, successfully collected 1037 fingerprint slips within an hour, marking a significant achievement in forensic research.

The event aimed to promote forensic science awareness and establish a local fingerprint database. Faculty members supervised the collection process between 11.30 am and 12.30 pm. The proceedings were accompanied by a soulful song performed by Sudha Rani, adding a spiritual touch to the programme. S Prasanthi, Sub-Inspector from the Fingerprint Bureau, CID, Kakinada Police, delivered an inspiring address to the students. She applauded the initiative, appreciating the efforts in organising the event and encouraging students to engage deeply with forensic science.

Dr K Sarala, Head of the Division of Crop Improvement at Central Tobacco Research Institute, Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, attended as the official adjudicator from the India Book of Records. She verified and announced the record. The record attempt began with 37 student volunteers from the

forensic science department stationed at 15 desks to collect participant fingerprint slips. The participants included forensic science students from the 3rd year BSc and 1st and 2nd year MSc programmes. Fingerprint cards were distributed to all participants in advance to streamline the process. Within the first 30 minutes, an impressive 630 fingerprints were collected. After the forensic science department completed its contributions, participants from Aditya Global Business School (AGBS) joined in.

By 12.30 pm, the collection process concluded with 1095 fingerprints collected. Upon review, 1037 were deemed reliable, solidifying the record-breaking achievement. Principal of ADPGC, Vilas Anil Chavan, delivered a motivational speech, emphasising the significance of the record-setting event. It was said that fingerprint databases allow for quick cross-referencing, aiding law enforcement agencies in solving cases faster and more accurately. Beyond criminal justice, fingerprints also play

a vital role in civil matters, such as personal identification and employment verification, highlighting their multifaceted importance in maintaining societal security and order.

A bi-monthly magazine, Forensics, was also launched. As a unique forensic publication, the magazine is poised to serve as a platform for sharing knowledge, research, and advancements in the field of forensic science. Dr Sanjay Kumar, Principal of AGBS, also addressed the gathering, highlighting the collaborative spirit between ADPGC and AGBS. He commended the high standards established by the forensic science department and urged students to pursue their academic passions with dedication. S Prasanthi, the chief guest, lauded the college’s progressive approach to education, particularly its emphasis on forensic studies, further elevating the importance of the event.

Rigorous Toughness Test

The journey of innovation and excellence began for Preethi Kitchen Appliances with a simple vision: to create a mixer grinder that would not only simplify cooking but also set new standards of performance. Today, that vision has been realised as the Preethi Zodiac, their flagship mixer grinder, achieved a remarkable milestone. Recognised by both the Asia Book of Records and the India Book of Records as the most powerful mixer grinder to grind the toughest items, the Preethi Zodiac has firmly established its place as a leader in kitchen appliances. It all started with a bold idea. To showcase the extraordinary capabilities of the Preethi Zodiac, the brand organised a unique challenge across four major cities: Kochi, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad.

Enlisting 120 influencers from various fields, Preethi set out to test the appliance’s strength and durability by making it grind materials that no ordinary mixer grinder would dare tackle - bricks, wood, and spices. This was a simple demonstration

and a rigorous test of the Zodiac’s ability to handle extreme conditions. As the influencers set about their tasks, the results spoke for themselves. The Preethi Zodiac ground even the most challenging items into fine powder, leaving the audience in awe. The demonstration highlighted the appliance’s unparalleled power, reliability, and durability, earning widespread acclaim from participants and viewers.

The claim was validated by Vivek R Nair and S Sagayaraj, adjudicators from the India and Asia Book of Records, further cementing the brand’s position as a powerhouse in the kitchen. Gulbahar Taurani, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Versuni India Home Solutions Ltd expressed immense pride in the achievement, stating, “At Preethi, our commitment to consumers drives us to set benchmarks of perfection, not just for ourselves but for the entire industry. We are incredibly proud to have the Preethi Zodiac recognised as the most powerful mixer grinder to grind the toughest items by the Asia

Book of Records and India Book of Records. This accolade is a testament to our relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation.”

Taurani further explained the brand’s vision behind the creation of the Zodiac. “When we created the Zodiac, we intended to meet the consumer’s need for a power-packed, reliable, and durable product that could make mixing, grinding, and blending easy and smooth. Over the years, Preethi has become a beloved choice for over a million consumers, and it is known as a true kitchen powerhouse. Today’s recognition affirms our claims and reflects our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of quality and performance,” he added.

Preethi’s dedication to innovation is further evident in its constant efforts to raise the bar for consumer engagement and product innovation. The product’s success is a testament to the brand’s forward-thinking approach and desire to cater to evolving consumer demands. Whether grinding bricks or making large batches of batter, the Preethi Zodiac handles it all easily, making it a must-have for modern kitchens. The journey of the Preethi Zodiac is not just a story of a product; it is a story of innovation, consumer trust, and relentless pursuit of excellence in home appliances.

Swimming with Tied Hands

As the sun rose over the Hooghly River, a crowd gathered at Howrah Balur Math, eagerly awaiting a spectacle that would soon make history. At precisely 6.55 am on August 3, 2024, Mukesh Gupta, a 26-year-old local resident, plunged into the turbulent waters, his hands bound tightly behind his back. What followed was an extraordinary demonstration of endurance, skill, and sheer determination as he embarked on a daring 10-kilometre swim, crossing the river with both hands tied. In

just 1 hour and 59 minutes, Mukesh achieved the seemingly impossible, becoming the fastest person to swim across the Hooghly with such a constraint, a feat that earned him a place in the prestigious India Book of Records (IBR).

The Hooghly River, known for its strong currents and unpredictable nature, especially during the monsoon season, posed a formidable challenge to even the most seasoned swimmers. Yet Mukesh, undeterred, navigated its waters with remarkable composure. Spectators watched in awe as he travelled from Howrah Balur Math to Ramkrishnapur Ghat, a route infamous for its difficulty due to the fast-moving tides and muddy riverbanks. Mukesh’s ability to maintain his calm under such demanding conditions was nothing short of inspiring. His achievement tested his physical limits and highlighted the mental strength required to undertake such a challenge.

Ananda Vedanta, the India Book of Records adjudicator, was present to witness the event and confirmed the record. Mukesh was awarded a medal and a certificate, marking his accomplishment in the pages of history. The local community, too, rallied behind their new hero. Among the onlookers was Shri Rai, a former councillor of Ward 29 in Howrah, who expressed his pride and admiration for Mukesh’s success despite the young

The record for the fastest river crossing with tied hands was set by Mukesh Gupta of Howrah, who swam from Howrah Balur Math to Howrah Ramkrishnapur Ghat, crossing the 10 km distance in Hooghly River.

man’s financial hardships. He said, “Mukesh has made all of us proud and we will ensure he receives the support he needs.” Mukesh’s journey to this moment was not without its struggles. Born into a financially disadvantaged family, he has long been passionate about swimming but lacked the resources to train professionally. Nevertheless, his determination to overcome

these obstacles drove him to practice in the river, often using makeshift equipment and techniques. He had written to various administrative officials seeking financial assistance for his training, but his pleas went unanswered. Still, Mukesh remained undeterred, relying on self-confidence and perseverance to achieve his dream.

As Mukesh emerged from the water at Ramkrishnapur Ghat, his calm demeanour remained intact. Onlookers gathered at the bridge and along the riverbank cheered, marvelling at his ability to cross the river with such ease despite the constraints. His feat was not just a personal victory but a triumph for the entire Howrah community, inspiring others to pursue their challenges and never give up, regardless of the odds.

The Valassery River Swimming Club has long championed water sports and swimming education. The club regularly organises events to encourage locals, particularly those from underprivileged backgrounds, to learn the life-saving skill of swimming. Mukesh’s record-setting achievement will inspire more young people to take up the challenge, helping build a new generation of skilled swimmers who can confidently brave the rivers and seas. As Mukesh’s story continues to inspire, his name will remain etched in the annals of history, a shining example of perseverance in the face of adversity.

Record Ride for Eltra

On the bustling streets of Bengaluru, a sleek, silent 3-wheeler rolled out onto the road. The Greaves Eltra City, an electric vehicle with a mission, was about to embark on a journey that would forever change the face of urban mobility. Over the course of a single charge, this unassuming electric 3-wheeler would cover a remarkable 225 kilometres, from Bengaluru to Mysuru, marking a new chapter in India’s move towards sustainable transport. On August 4, 2024, Greaves Electric Mobility proudly etched its name into the India Book of Records, cementing its place in history. Dubbed the ‘Eltra City Freedom Ride,’ the journey was no ordinary road trip. Organised to celebrate Independence Day, this event was designed to showcase the power, endurance, and innovation of the Eltra City, Greaves Electric’s flagship electric 3-wheeler.

The journey began at Vidhan Soudha in Bengaluru, with the Eltra City navigating through some of Karnataka’s most iconic landmarks, including the HAL Ajeet at Cubbon Road and Tipu Sultan’s mausoleum. The vehicle finally arrived at its destination, the Freedom Fighter’s Park in Mysuru, two hours later. The 225-kilometre drive was completed in eco mode, demonstrating not only the vehicle’s capabilities but also its efficiency, as it covered the entire distance on a single charge. As the Eltra City crossed the finish line at Mysuru’s Freedom Fighter’s Park, it was not just the end of a long drive; it was the beginning of a new era in electric mobility.

Fastest Altitude Drive

Ateam of adventurers set out on a daring expedition in late July that would soon earn them a place in the record book. The challenge was to drive from the lowest point on land to the highest motorable road in the world in record time. The team from JSW MG Motor India Pvt Ltd of Gurugram, in partnership with Team Mountain Goat of Shimla, embarked on their journey in an MG Hector car from the lush, low-lying fields of Kuttanad in Kerala, situated 7 feet below sea level, to the dizzying heights of Umling La in Ladakh, towering at 19,024 feet above sea level. Their quest to set the record for the ‘fastest to drive from lowest to highest altitude on the road by a team’ had begun.

It was 1.30 pm on July 27, 2024, when the wheels of their MG Hector began rolling through the scenic backwaters of Kerala. The team covered 3846 kilometres over the next 66 hours and 58 minutes, navigating India’s diverse landscapes and battling the challenges of changing altitudes. By 8.28 am on July 30, the expedition had triumphantly reached the summit of Umling La, securing their place in the India Book of Records. On August 2, 2024, their achievement was officially recognised, with Narvijay Yadav and Gaurav Bansal, adjudicators from the India Book of Records, presenting the team with medals and certificates at a ceremony in Gurugram.

For Shashwat Gupta, a Team Mountain Goat member, the expedition’s success was proof of their perseverance and the robust capabilities of the MG Hector, India’s first internetconnected SUV. Celebrating its 5th anniversary in the Indian market, Hector’s performance on this gruelling journey highlighted its bold design, enhanced ground clearance, and dependable build quality. These attributes were essential in conquering the expedition’s challenging terrain and high altitudes. The MG Hector’s record-setting journey was more than just a test of endurance; it celebrated India’s progress in sustainable and connected mobility.

As the Hector ascended to Umling La, it embodied MG Motor’s vision of providing affordable, reliable, and eco-friendly transportation solutions. In just five years, the car has become a beloved fixture on Indian roads, admired for its blend of advanced technology, durability, and style. With its roots in MG’s global engineering heritage, the Hector has been specifically tailored to meet the unique demands of Indian drivers and conditions. This has been reflected in its impressive sales, with over 50,000 units produced within two years of its launch, a milestone celebrated by the women-led team at MG’s Halol facility in Gujarat.

The record for being the ‘fastest to drive from lowest to highest altitude on the road by a team’ was set by JSW MG Motor India Pvt Ltd and Team Mountain Goat, who drove the MG Hector to Umling La in Ladakh.

As the Hector continues to break new ground, its recordsetting journey from Kuttanad to Umling La reminds us of what’s possible when innovation meets determination. The SUV’s ability to conquer extremes reaffirms its status as a market leader and sets a new standard for automotive excellence in India. Since its debut in 2019, the MG Hector has become synonymous with strength, reliability, and innovation. It boasts a high-strength steel body and numerous safety features designed to protect passengers in all conditions. With six airbags, a 360-degree HD camera, and advanced driver assistance systems, the Hector ensures performance and peace of mind.

Colossal Ghevar Creation

In a celebration that brought together tradition, culinary expertise, and the festive spirit of Rajasthan, the city of Jaipur achieved a remarkable feat – the creation of the largest Ghevar, weighing a staggering 475 kg. Under the leadership of Mayor Dr Somya Gurjar and in collaboration with Johari Lal Sodhani of Sodhani Sweets Pvt Ltd, this massive Ghevar was crafted as part of the Hariyali Teej Mahotsav, held on August 5, 2024, at the Abhinandan Banquet Hall in Mansarovar, Jaipur. This achievement, officially recorded in the India Book of Records and the Asia Book of Records, not only celebrated the rich cultural heritage of Rajasthan but also highlighted the iconic significance of Ghevar in festive traditions.

Ghevar, a traditional sweet dish closely associated with festivals like Teej and Raksha Bandhan, is a unique dessert with a honeycomb structure made from wheat flour, ghee, sugar syrup, milk, and cheese. Topped with saffron, spices, and nuts, it has long been a symbol of joy and celebration in Rajasthan. The creation of the largest Ghevar, with a circumference of 7.3 feet and a thickness of 9 inches, was a monumental task designed to preserve and honour this cultural tradition.

The making of this giant Ghevar was no easy task. The process took five days, involved over 20 craftsmen, and required a custom-made 800 kg kadhai (deep frying pan), along with a specially constructed iron frame to lift the massive creation. Despite numerous setbacks, including the Ghevar breaking

multiple times during the preparation and lifting stages, the team persevered. After four failed attempts, they successfully

created the Ghevar on the fifth day, which was ceremoniously presented during the festival and shared among attendees.

The dish involved the use of 1000 kg of ghee, 105 kg of wheat flour, 125 litres of milk, and 50 kg of mava, highlighting the scale and complexity of the project. Dr Gurjar, who has been an active political figure since her election, emphasised the significance of women’s collective strength, noting that the achievement of creating the largest Ghevar was a reflection of what women can accomplish when united. The Hariyali Teej Mahotsav, which provided the backdrop for this grand feat, was itself a vibrant celebration of cultural heritage. The festival featured a wide range of traditional activities, including mehndi (henna) competitions, thali decoration contests, and Ghoomar dance performances, drawing women from across the city.

At the heart of this festival was the celebration of Teej, a festival that marks the onset of the monsoon. Teej is deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric of Rajasthan, with women observing fasts, adorning themselves in vibrant attire, and preparing traditional sweets like Ghevar. In many households, Ghevar is not just a dessert but a ceremonial offering, and its association with Teej enhances its cultural significance. It is a tradition for mothers to send Ghevar to their newly married daughters, reinforcing family ties and marking the festive spirit. The creation of the largest Ghevar in Jaipur was a fitting tribute to this tradition. Beyond its sheer size, the Ghevar represented the resilience, skill, and dedication of those who worked tirelessly to make it. It was a reminder of how food, especially in a place as rich in culinary heritage as Rajasthan, serves as a bridge between the past and the present, carrying with it stories of celebration, family, and community.

T10 Gully Cricket Tournament

The UT Cricket Association (UTCA), in collaboration with Chandigarh Police, achieved a remarkable feat by setting the record for the maximum number of teams participating in the T10 gully cricket tournament. A total of 302 teams, comprising 256 boys’ and 46 girls’ teams, took part in the 17-daylong event from July 26 to August 11, 2024. The tournament aimed to engage the youth in sports and foster creativity through the much-loved game of cricket. The tournament, which captured the essence of street cricket, concluded with joint winners declared in both the boys’ and girls’ categories. The boys’ final, scheduled at the PCA Stadium in Mohali, was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. As a result, Team 2 and Team 203 were declared joint winners. Similarly, Team 3 and Team 35 shared the winning spot in the girls’ category.

The closing ceremony was initially planned at the Sector 16 Cricket Stadium in Chandigarh. However, due to rain, the venue was shifted to the Bhargava Auditorium at PGIMER, where the winners were felicitated. The event was graced by legendary former Indian cricketers Kapil Dev and Ashok Malhotra, who celebrated the spirit of the young players. IG of Chandigarh Police, RK Singh, and UTCA president Sanjay Tandon were also present to congratulate the participants. During the ceremony, Acharya Manish, an Asia Book of Records (ABR) adjudicator, announced that the tournament had officially set the record for the maximum number of teams participating in a T10 Gully Cricket tournament. He presented a medal and certificate to the officials, recognising their achievement.

In his address, Sanjay Tandon, President of UTCA, lauded the efforts of all the young players, referring to them as brand ambassadors of the game. He encouraged them to motivate others to participate in future editions of the tournament, particularly the upcoming third edition of the Gully Cricket Tournament. He also thanked the police and local authorities for making the event successful, highlighting the collaborative

effort that led to such a massive turnout. The success of the tournament extended beyond cricket.

The organisers distributed medical kits to all participants, with special hygiene packs provided to the female players, further emphasising the importance of health and well-being

in sports. The initiative reflected the comprehensive approach of the UTCA and Chandigarh Police towards promoting not just cricket but also holistic care for the youth. To mark the record-setting event, Sanjay Tandon handed over the Asia Book of Records certificates to DGP Chandigarh SS Yadav and SSP Chandigarh Kanwardeep Kaur, recognising their crucial support in organising the event. This handover symbolised the unity between sporting and law enforcement bodies in fostering youth engagement through sport.

The Union Territory Cricket Association (UTCA), governing cricket in Chandigarh, has been actively promoting the sport since its affiliation with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in August 2019. Following its merger with the Chandigarh Cricket Association (CCA-Punjab), this affiliation opened new avenues for budding cricketers in the region. The success of this year’s T10 Gully Cricket Tournament set a record and reinforced the importance of engaging youth in productive, healthy, and community-focused activities like sports. As cricket continues to capture the hearts of millions across India, such initiatives promise to build a strong foundation for future generations.

Talent Knows No Bounds

In a world where age often dictates ability, little Ariv Nimalan SP proves that talent knows no bounds. At just three years, six months, and two days, Ariv has achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the youngest performer to hold a classical music concert, setting a new record with his enthralling Carnatic music performance. The record-setting concert took place on the auspicious occasion of Vaikasi Visagam at the Nageshwaraswamy Temple in Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu. Over the course of 61 minutes, young Ariv captivated the audience with his rendition of various Carnatic music forms, including kirtis, thukkadas, and sacred verses from Thiruppugazh, Thevaram, and Lingashtakam. His performance was officially recognised by the India Book of Records (IBR), with adjudicator S Sagayaraj confirming the achievement.

Ariv’s musical journey began long before this historic performance. His mother, Prameela Sathish, recalls singing to him while in the womb, making music a central part of his early life. “Every day, I sang ‘Azhage Azhage’ from Saivam, a Carnatic gem, which created a special bond between us,” she shares. This bond was a source of comfort and joy for Ariv from his earliest days, with music soothing him during challenging times, including the early days of his life in the hospital. As Ariv grew, his passion for music became increasingly evident. Even before he began formal practice for the concert, he often sang spontaneously while playing, displaying an innate love for music.

His mother recalls, “Ariv would sing in his sleep, and his enthusiasm for music was clear from the start.” This natural

affinity for music led to preparing him for a concert despite the challenges of keeping a toddler focused. The preparation was as unique as Ariv himself. Practice sessions began with just 20 minutes each morning, using YouTube as a guide. Over time, these sessions extended, allowing Ariv to perform for over an hour at times. His mother ensured that despite his playful nature, Ariv practiced daily, fostering discipline and passion.

The inspiration for Ariv’s record-setting performance came after a previous concert at the same temple, where he performed with remarkable confidence despite minimal preparation. This experience, coupled with his evident potential, motivated his family to pursue a new record. “His passion and potential were undeniable,” Prameela explains. “I wanted to ensure his talent was celebrated in a way that truly reflected his abilities.” The concert was organised with the support of ‘Roots and Buds of ARR,’ a skill development academy, and Ariv’s music teacher, Ida Ashok, played a crucial role in this. The Nageshwaraswamy Temple’s management also provided significant support, helping to make the event a memorable success.

Ariv’s journey proves that extraordinary potential can be nurtured from a young age. His future seems as bright as his performance was impressive. Beyond music, Ariv is exploring other interests, including Silambam, studying Thirukkural, and participating in fashion events. His mother’s approach to parenting reflects a commitment to nurturing his diverse talents

Ariv Nimalan SP of Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, set the record for being the youngest to perform a classical music concert. The child performed the Carnatic feat on the occasion of Vaikasi Visagam.

while preparing him for a future full of opportunities. Prameela’s advice to parents resonates deeply: “Support your children’s dreams and provide them with opportunities to express themselves freely. Every step, no matter how small, contributes to their success.” Ariv’s story is a shining example of how early encouragement and belief in a child’s potential can lead to extraordinary achievements.

A Triumph of Tradition

In the heart of Kerala’s rich cultural landscape, a young prodigy has achieved an extraordinary feat, captivating audiences with his remarkable endurance and skill. On July 16, 2024, S Shaarav, born on the same date in 2013, from Alappuzha, Kerala, set a new record for the ‘longest duration performing Thayambaka and Pancharimelam by a child’. This exceptional achievement not only highlights his prodigious talent but also celebrates the timeless traditions of Kerala’s percussion arts. Shaarav’s historic performance occurred at the Parabrahma Temple in Oachira, Kollam, Kerala, a venue deeply embedded in the region’s cultural and religious life. The day began at the crack of dawn, with Shaarav taking to the stage at 6.17 am to perform Thayambaka, a classical drumming style renowned for its intricate rhythms and vibrant energy. For three hours, Shaarav’s mastery of the Chenda, a traditional Kerala percussion instrument, resonated through the temple grounds.

His performance concluded at 9.17 am, setting a remarkable precedent for Thayambaka.

Following a brief interval, Shaarav resumed his drumming at 9.21 am, this time to showcase Pancharimelam, a traditional ensemble performance that involves a variety of percussion instruments, including the Chenda. The Pancharimelam performance lasted 3 hours and 3 minutes, wrapping up at 12.23 pm. In total, Shaarav’s unwavering dedication and stamina saw him perform for an impressive 6 hours and 3 minutes, a feat recognised by the India Book of Records (IBR).

Thayambaka is a dynamic and vigorous drumming tradition that highlights the performer’s ability to maintain complex rhythmic patterns and improvisations over an extended period. The performance is both a display of physical endurance and artistic finesse, integral to temple festivals in Kerala. Pancharimelam, on the other hand, is a group performance that

synchronises multiple percussionists. It’s a staple of temple festivals and processions, known for its elaborate rhythmic cycles and the collective harmony achieved by the ensemble. The performance is proof of the collective skill and coordination of the musicians involved.

Shaarav’s performances were not just a personal milestone but a tribute to Kerala’s rich musical heritage. His ability to sustain such intense and prolonged performances as a child shows his exceptional talent, rigorous training, and deep respect for traditional arts. His record-breaking performances are a source of immense pride for his community and an inspiration for young musicians. His achievement underscores the remarkable dedication required to master traditional percussion arts and highlights the vibrant cultural tapestry of Kerala.

The choice of Parabrahma Temple as the venue for this record-setting event added a layer of cultural authenticity to Shaarav’s achievement. The temple’s setting provided a fitting backdrop for a performance that bridges the past with the present, celebrating the enduring spirit of Kerala’s percussion traditions.

Yoga Endurance Triumph

Imagine the physical strain of holding a yoga pose for nearly an hour with your muscles burning, your breath steady, and your focus unwavering. On June 21, 2024, at the Maher Auditorium in West KK Nagar, Priyadharshini S, a 22-year-old from Tiruvallur, Tamil Nadu, achieved the unthinkable by holding the challenging Prasarita Padottanasana or wide-legged forward bend pose, for an astounding 50 minutes and 52 seconds. This record-breaking feat tested her endurance and set a new standard in the world of yoga, recognised by the India Book of Records.

Prasarita Padottanasana is no ordinary yoga pose. Known for its intense stretch and balance requirements, it challenges practitioners to spread their legs wide apart, bend forward, and touch the ground while maintaining a firm posture. The pose stretches the hamstrings, calves, and lower back while also demanding a stable core and controlled breathing. Holding this position for a few minutes can be difficult, but Priyadharshini defied the odds by extending her time to nearly an hour. At precisely 12.26 pm on that fateful June afternoon, Priyadharshini began her record attempt under the watchful eyes of the crowd and the official adjudicator, Vivek R Nair.

The tension in the auditorium was palpable as yoga enthusiasts, friends, and media gathered to witness this monumental challenge. As time passed and the 50-minute mark drew closer, the audience was on edge, their eyes fixed on Priyadharshini’s calm yet focused demeanour. Finally, at 1.16 pm and 52 seconds, she gracefully concluded her

attempt, setting a new record and leaving the crowd in awe. Her achievement highlights the growing recognition of yoga as a performance-oriented discipline where individuals continue to push the limits of their physical and mental capacities. It also inspires new and experienced yogis, demonstrating that extraordinary feats are within reach with dedication and practice.

Priyadharshini’s journey to this record was far from spontaneous. Her success was the result of months of gruelling

preparation, during which she dedicated herself to refining both her physical and mental endurance. She practiced Prasarita Padottanasana daily, building her flexibility and stamina under the guidance of experienced yoga instructors. But it wasn’t just physical training. Her routine also involved deep meditation and breathing exercises.

Giant UnveiledBunny

It was a moment straight out of a fairy tale. As the clock struck eight on a warm April evening, the crowd at Phoenix Palassio, Lucknow’s premier luxury shopping destination, fell silent in anticipation. The air buzzed with excitement, whispers growing louder with each passing second. Suddenly, the curtain dropped, and there it was, towering at 40 feet, draped in 60,000 vibrant carnation flowers, stood India’s biggest rabbit installation. The awe-struck audience erupted in applause, marking the unveiling of one of the city’s most spectacular artistic installations the country had ever witnessed.

Phoenix Palassio’s newest attraction, a colossal rabbit made of thermocol, steel, and plywood, now graces its central atrium. This grandiose centrepiece, confirmed by the India and Asia Book of Records, is more than an artistic marvel. It symbolises

Phoenix Palassio’s unyielding commitment to creativity, innovation, and unmatched visitor experiences. The unveiling of the Bunny Land decor heralded the arrival of the mall’s Spring-Summer season. This was no ordinary launch; it was a celebration attended by some of Bollywood’s finest - Meera Chopra, Pooja Chopra, Manjari Fadnis, Chahat Khanna, and Tanishaa Mukherjee. Their glamour and presence added a layer of prestige to the evening, making it a star-studded affair.

Phoenix Palassio has long been a hallmark of luxury and grandeur in Lucknow, but with the unveiling of the giant rabbit installation, it has secured its place in history. The rabbit installation is not just about size. It embodies the essence of spring - renewal, luck, and abundance. The installation’s grandeur invites visitors to immerse themselves in a whimsical

world where every mall corner is adorned with interactive displays and thematic decorations. The replica, made of artificial flowers, spans 40 feet diagonally and rises to a towering 24 feet high. Its size and craftsmanship earned it a spot in the Asia Book of Records (ABR) and the India Book of Records (IBR).

Pramil Dwivedi, the official adjudicator from the India Book of Records, was present to verify and announce the achievement. He commended Phoenix Palassio’s vision, stating that such initiatives enhance the mall’s appeal and elevate Lucknow’s status as a city of artistic innovation. While the rabbit undoubtedly steals the show, Phoenix Palassio’s transformation doesn’t end there. The mall has been meticulously decorated to complement the installation, creating a holistic experience for every visitor. Special selfie zones and designated photo spots allow families, friends, and influencers to capture Bunny Land’s magic.

Bunny Land is more than just a visual treat; it’s an experience, an invitation to dream and indulge in a playful fantasy. Themed interactive zones keep children engaged, making it a familyfriendly adventure through and through. Sanjeev Sareen, Senior Centre Director of Phoenix, expressed his pride in the project, stating, “The Bunny Land decor installation at Phoenix Palassio Mall is not just the biggest in the country but also proof of our commitment to creating unforgettable experiences for our patrons.

Green Pratigya for Plantation

In collaboration with Radio City Mumbai, Bank of Baroda, one of India’s leading public sector banks, has set a record by promoting a greener future through the Green Pratigya (green pledge) campaign. Commemorating the bank’s 117th Foundation Day, the campaign encouraged 1,21,250 people across 35 cities to pledge their commitment to tree plantation, covering 97 bank branches. This outstanding effort earned a place in the India Book of Records (IBR), marking a historic achievement in environmental advocacy. The campaign was designed to raise awareness about the importance of environmental conservation and to foster a culture of tree plantation. The target of 1.17 lakh pledges was chosen to symbolise the 117 years of the bank’s service to the nation. By exceeding this ambitious goal, the bank demonstrated its deep commitment to promoting a sustainable

lifestyle, safeguarding the environment, and supporting tree plantation initiatives.

The Green Pratigya campaign was driven by a simple yet powerful pledge: “I pledge to take active steps towards a greener tomorrow, celebrate green initiatives, promote sustainable living, and protect the environment.” Bank of Baroda invited customers, employees, and communities to take this pledge through a multi-channel approach, including radio promotions, digital activations, and on-ground activities across its branches. The slogan for the campaign, “Karo nature se judne ka iraada, Karo Green Pratigya ka Vaada,” resonated with the audience, emphasising the importance of reconnecting with nature and taking a firm commitment to protecting it. The campaign’s success was measured by the sheer number of

pledges and the lasting impact it aimed to create through its tree plantation drive.

Debadatta Chand, Managing Director and CEO of Bank of Baroda shared his thoughts on the campaign: “Today is an important landmark as we celebrate Bank of Baroda’s 117th Foundation Day. This moment also represents our renewed commitment to a greener, more sustainable future. Through the Green Pratigya campaign, we are taking a step towards protecting the environment and encouraging others to join us in this cause. The campaign is crucial to the Bank’s broader sustainability efforts under its overarching ‘BOB Earth Green Drive’ initiative. As part of this, the Bank of Baroda is working towards planting 1,17,000 fruit-bearing trees across the country. This large-scale tree plantation drive will involve the active participation of the bank’s employees, customers, and other stakeholders, with trees being planted in housing societies, schools, offices, parks, and public spaces.”

Through this initiative, the bank aims to contribute to environmental preservation and reduce its carbon footprint while encouraging communities to participate in greening their surroundings. The focus on fruit-bearing trees highlights the bank’s vision to enhance greenery and provide resources that benefit communities in the long term. Radio City, a prominent FM radio station in Mumbai, played an instrumental role in amplifying the Green Pratigya campaign. RJ Sud, one of Radio City’s popular presenters, actively participated in the campaign by visiting Bank of Baroda branches and taking the pledge himself. Radio City promoted the campaign on air, encouraging listeners to take part and make a personal commitment to the environment. Through radio advertisements, digital outreach, and on-ground activations, the campaign successfully reached a diverse audience, inspiring individuals from all walks of life to pledge towards tree plantation and environmental protection.

Bank of Baroda and Radio City set the record for the ‘maximum number of people pledged to promote tree plantation’, under which the Green Pratigya campaign was launched through radio and other means.

Radio Waves for Wellness

Marking a significant achievement in the pharmaceutical industry, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, achieved an extraordinary milestone in public health advocacy earlier this year. They set a remarkable record for the ‘maximum number of doctors raising awareness on Ankylosing Spondylitis through radio in a day’ under the Asia Book of Records (ABR). 96 doctors participated in the campaign, raising awareness about the disease across India through various radio stations. Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), a chronic inflammatory disease, primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints, where the spine meets the pelvis.

In an era dominated by digital platforms, Sun Pharma’s decision to use radio to raise awareness about Ankylosing Spondylitis was both innovative and effective. With its extensive reach, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas, radio served as an ideal platform to educate the public on this often misunderstood and underdiagnosed condition. Around a hundred doctors who participated in this campaign provided expert insights on AS, its symptoms, and ways to manage the disease. The campaign effectively reached a broad and diverse audience by speaking on different radio stations across multiple cities. The doctors emphasised the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, encouraging listeners to seek medical advice if they experienced persistent back pain or stiffness.

Doctors revealed in the radio talks that genetic factors are known to play a significant role in this condition. The presence of a gene called HLA-B27 is strongly associated with the disease, although not everyone who carries the gene will develop it.

Environmental factors and immune system dysfunction are also believed to contribute to the onset of the condition. Classified under a group of conditions known as ‘spondyloarthropathies’, Ankylosing Spondylitis leads to inflammation in the joints, resulting in persistent pain and stiffness, particularly in the lower back and hips. Over time, this inflammation can cause the vertebrae to fuse, severely limiting mobility and, in extreme cases, leading to a hunched posture.

It was said that the key symptoms of AS include chronic back pain, stiffness, reduced spinal flexibility, and pain in other joints, such as the shoulders, hips, or knees. Fatigue is another common symptom; in some cases, inflammation may extend to different body parts, such as the eyes, heart, and lungs. Although there is no cure for Ankylosing Spondylitis, treatment options can help manage symptoms, slow disease progression, and maintain mobility. These treatments include Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce inflammation and pain, as well as biologics, which target specific immune system components to reduce inflammation.

Physical therapy also plays a vital role in managing AS. Stretching exercises help maintain flexibility, while posture training prevents the spine from fusing in a hunched position. Lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight, are crucial in managing the disease. Sun Pharmaceutical’s record-setting campaign demonstrated how the medical community and the media can collaborate to raise awareness about necessary health conditions like Ankylosing Spondylitis. By leveraging the reach of radio, the campaign educated millions nationwide, helping to promote early diagnosis and effective treatment strategies for AS. This effort is a record-breaking achievement and a significant contribution to improving public health awareness.

Young Prodigy’s Devotional Feat

The journey began in 2021 when Adhya confidently memorised and sang the Indian national anthem during her Junior KG virtual class. Initially, her teacher was unsure whether Adhya could pronounce the anthem correctly but was astonished by the child’s flawless rendition. She remarked that in her 17 years of teaching career, she had never seen a child perform the anthem with such clarity of pronunciation and perfect pitch. This prompted Adhya’s parents to consider teaching her the Mahishasura Mardini Stotram, a more complex and challenging recital. At just 5 years, 5 months, and 5 days old, Adhya recited all 21 stanzas of the Mahishasura Mardini Stotram clearly and confidently in 10 minutes and 12 seconds, earning her a place in the India Book of Records.

Her father, Deepak Mohan Gandhi, shared with the IBR magazine, “The practice took about eight months. Initially, I was unfamiliar with the stotram’s pronunciation and lyrics. I had to learn it myself before teaching it to Adhya. To our amazement, Adhya quickly grasped and memorised it, surpassing my own learning pace. Her sharp memory and perseverance were key to mastering this challenging piece. After witnessing Adhya’s rapid progress with the stotram, we thought her achievement might be worthy of a record. Upon researching, I found that a girl named Sanvi Senthil from Andhra Pradesh had set a record at 5 years, 6 months, and 20 days. Since Adhya was younger and capable of surpassing this, we decided to pursue the record.”

There were challenges along the way. The first was the complexity of the stotram itself, both in pronunciation and memorisation. It was a demanding task for Adhya, but she remained focused and motivated. Another challenge was maintaining consistency in practice, which was crucial to ensure she mastered not just the words but also the rhythm and clarity of the recitation. The Mahishasura Mardini Stotram is a devotional hymn in Sanskrit dedicated to Goddess Durga in her form as the slayer of the demon Mahishasura. The title ‘Mahishasura Mardini’ literally means ‘the destroyer of Mahishasura.’ The stotram praises her strength, courage, and divine power in her victory over the demon, symbolising the triumph of good over evil. It is a highly revered composition

in Hindu tradition, particularly during festivals like Navaratri and Durga Puja.

Deepak added, “Once we realised Adhya was ready, we planned the record attempt carefully. We ensured the environment was conducive to a perfect recital, with no distractions. We recorded the entire attempt following the guidelines provided by the India Book of Records team to ensure it met all the necessary criteria. We are delighted and proud that our child has made it to the most precious national-level record book.”

Besides reciting stotram, Adhya enjoys singing, reading, and painting. She has a strong inclination towards music and loves learning new things. As a child, she also enjoys helping her mother, Madhuri Gandhi, with small tasks at home and is always curious about how things work. Adhya’s parents believe that their daughter’s achievement is not just about setting a record; it is a testament to her dedication and ability to overcome challenges. It was also a learning journey for both parents, who are proud of how she has developed her skills and maintained her enthusiasm throughout the process.
