Shriji Dr. Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar Sets 10th Guinness World Record

Shriji Dr. Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar has achieved his 10th Guinness World Record on January 22, 2026, at Shikarbadi in Udaipur, arranging over 1,400 handmade earthen pots into the world's largest clay water pot sentence to convey messages of service, culture, and environmental conservation. Dedicating this milestone to his late father, Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar, he distributed the pots to the needy, blending record-breaking innovation with community welfare while promoting Rajasthani craftsmanship and sustainability. Earthen pots, rooted in ancient traditions, offer natural cooling through evaporation, balance water's pH for better digestion and metabolism, and infuse beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium, making them eco-friendly and healthier than refrigerated water, which can harm the body with excessive chill.

Shriji Dr. Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar's previous Guinness World Records include:

• Vastradaan Campaign (March 9, 2019): Collected and distributed over 3,29,250 pieces of clothing from more than 76,000 donors, reaching over 120 schools, 15 colleges, and 30 NGOs.
• Stationery Distribution (August 20, 2019): Distributed over 20 tons of stationery materials to students within 24 hours.
