A scion of the 1500-year-old House of Mewar in Udaipur, Lakshyaraj Singh, set a world record by using 2,203 solar-powered lamps. He and his team are shown creating a massive display of the Sun in a video released by Guinness World Records (GWR).
“Largest display of solar powered lamps, 2,203 by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar,” says the GWR caption that was uploaded with the video.
People can be seen setting up solar lamps in a specific pattern in the video. As the video goes on, it becomes evident that it is a motif of the Sun, with the Hindi words “Sunrise” inscribed beneath it.
The GWR report states that the record “was organised to promote and highlight the importance of solar-powered lamps in today’s world and the positive impact they can have on the environment.”
Additionally, the organisation stated in the comments section of the video, “The solar lantern display, which includes the word ‘sunrise’, was created to raise awareness of the importance of solar-powered lamps and the positive impact they can have on the environment and for disadvantaged people in India.”
