India sets two Guinness records on the International Yoga Day
Reports said the Rajpath event broke the previous record of a gathering of 29,973 people, held by Gwalior's Jiwaji University.
The other record was for the largest number of nationalities at a yoga event. Volunteers and invitees from 84 different countries took part in it.
A two-member team from London on behalf of Guinness World Records was in Delhi to oversee the arrangements. The data was audited by Ernest & Young.
The day was named by the United Nations following a proposal pitched by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
