Made by Ashok Bhardwaj

The large rakhi on this farmhouse in Bhind was made by Bharatiya Janata Party leader Ashok Bhardwaj.

After the BJP workers made such a suggestion, Bhardwaj chose to take the lead. The crew chose to shatter the record after searching online for the current record in this category, according to Live Hindustan news agency.

10 Artists contributed in preparation of Rakhi

According to Bhardwaj, a company has been contracted to handle this project. The rakhi, which is made from materials like cotton, cardboard, thermocol sheets, wood, etc., is made, in his estimation, by more than 10 artists. The primary centrepiece of the rakhi, which is normally spherical and has a diameter of 25 feet. It is adorned with two additional decorative balls that are each 15 feet in diameter.

Images from MP's Bhind have surfaced, showcasing the project's progress as it is being completed in full speed for its timely preparation. A lot of craftspeople were colouring, embellishing, and decorating various rakhi components.

All Previous record will break

Bhardwaj further asserted that once the rakhi was finished, its length will break all previous records. He told Live Hindustan that the precise length of the rakhi is still being decided.

The BJP leader further declared his intention to submit the idea to up to five credible record books.

• Guinness World Records
• The Asia Book of Records
• The India Book of Records
• The World Book of Records, and
• The Limca Book of Records.

On Thursday, representatives from Guinness Records will fly into Bhind to assess the project and perhaps register it as a record. The rakhi will be deemed the "biggest" in the world after the proper procedure, according to the report.
