Indian town breaks the mold with staggering 2.6 million twinkling lights for Diwali, shattering global record.
The picturesque town of Varanasi in northern India has lit up its streets and landmarks with a jaw-dropping 2.6 million twinkling lamps, a staggering number that has shattered the existing world record for the most Diwali lights ever displayed.
As part of the festival of lights, the town's residents have worked tirelessly to transform the city into a dazzling spectacle of colors and lights, with towering lamp posts and intricate designs adorning buildings and streets. The sheer scale of the display is a testament to Indian ingenuity and community spirit.
Witnesses described the sight as breathtaking, saying it was like nothing they had ever seen before. "It's like walking into a fairy tale," one local resident said. "The whole town is aglow with lights, creating an enchanting atmosphere that's hard to describe."
The record-breaking display has been recognized by Guinness World Records and is expected to attract thousands of visitors to the city during Diwali celebrations.
Varanasi, known for its rich cultural heritage and spiritual significance, has long been a favorite destination for tourists and pilgrims alike. But this year's record-breaking light display is set to put the town on the global map once again, showcasing India's vibrant culture and hospitality to a wider audience.
