Bathukamma festivities in Telangana set two Guinness World Records at Saroor Nagar Stadium. The first was for a 63-foot-tall Bathukamma, the tallest ever, reportedly weighing about 7 tonnes. The second came as 1,354 women from self-help groups together performed a dance around floral stack, surpassing the previous record of 474 participants. "It took 72 hours to erect structure," officials said.
