Gujarat Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghavi on June 21 said the Yoga Day event in Surat had set a “new Guinness World Record” for the largest gathering of people for a yoga session in one place. More than one lakh people took part in the event, Mr. Sanghavi said.
The previous record reportedly dates back to 2018, when 100,984 people attended a session held at Patanjali Yogapeeth in Kota, Rajasthan.
