Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh broke the record set in Ayodhya last year, officials said. Ujjain is home to Mahakaleshwar, one of the 12 jyotirlingas associated with Shiva.
“You have not only created a record by lighting 11,71,878 lamps, but also written the history of this holy occasion in golden letters,” Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said in a tweet accompanied by a picture while accepting the certificate from Guinness World Records officials.(ANI)
