Coimbatore: The 112 ft tall bust of ‘Adiyogi’ Lord Shiva at the Isha Yoga Foundation here has been declared the world’s largest bust by the Guinness Book of World Records. The Guinness had made the announcement in its website.
The bust at the Isha Yoga Foundation on the outskirts of Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu was unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Feb. 24 (Mahashivarathri Day) this year.
The face of Adiyogi, set up by Isha Foundation’s Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, attracts thousands of people every day. It is 112.4 feet tall, 24.99 metres wide and 147 feet long.
