Vadnagar denizens set Guinness World Record
The record-setting initiative was organised by the Gujarat Yog Board in association with the Ministry of Ayush. Vadnagar, birthplace of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, provided a fitting and symbolic backdrop for the achievement, drawing participants from across the state. More than 1,000 people came together at the picturesque Tana-Riri Garden in Vadnagar to perform the Bhujangasana simultaneously under the guidance of certified yoga instructors.
The performance was conducted in strict adherence to the guidelines laid down by the Guinness World Records, ensuring precision, synchronisation and authenticity. Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghavi joined the participants, performing the cobra pose alongside them. Their participation and encouragement played a key role in galvanising the public and reinforced the state government's commitment to yoga and traditional wellness practices.
The successful record execution was spearheaded by Nischal Barot, a leading Guinness World Records consultant and founder of Kemi's Connect.

They failed to read nation's pulse and ended up scoring a self goal, he further said, according to sources. Modi recalled that he had referred to the opposition's failure to grasp the national achievement right at the outset of his speech during the debate. "Today, I stand to present India's perspective and hold a mirror to those who fail to see it," sources quoted him as saying. Sources said Modi urged NDA leaders to amplify the collective voice of a "New India," which has resolutely responded to terrorists and their patrons. His remarks drew applause from NDA MPs, who greeted him with chants of "Har Har Mahadev".
