3 min read
In a dazzling celebration of heritage and innovation, Lakshyaraj Singh—scion of the illustrious 1500-year-old House of Mewar in Udaipur—has etched his name in history by setting a new Guinness World Record. The record, awarded for the “Largest Display of Solar-Powered Lamps,” features a mesmerizing arrangement of 2,203 solar lamps forming a radiant depiction of the Sun, complete with the Hindi word “sunrise” beneath it.
A Historic Display of Light and Legacy
The record-setting event was captured in a striking video released by Guinness World Records. In the footage, Singh and his team meticulously placed solar lamps in a pattern that, once illuminated, resembled the celestial body. The visual spectacle not only symbolizes the breaking of physical darkness with light but also metaphorically represents the dawn of new beginnings—echoed by the inscription “sunrise” in Hindi.
This innovative display was organized as part of the initiative named Suryauday, which aims to spotlight the transformative impact of solar-powered technology. By using renewable energy to create art that serves both aesthetic and social purposes, Singh underscores the potential of green energy solutions in promoting environmental sustainability and social upliftment.

These will be distributed to illuminate the homes of those who live in darkness and need it most. Symbolising hope and empowerment for communities through my vision of the greatest good for the greatest number.”
This project is more than a record-setting feat; it is a beacon of hope designed to bring light—both literally and figuratively—to disadvantaged communities. By distributing these solar lamps, the initiative seeks to provide practical benefits, fostering a positive impact on the environment and improving the quality of life for many.
