Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Bhopal witnessed three world records marking the 150th anniversary of 'Vande Mataram' on Tuesday evening.

In a continuous one-hour relay performance, he played traditional instruments, including the piano, tabla, dholak, harmonium and guitar, alongside unconventional objects like tin tanks, paint cans, buckets, suitcases, steel platters and cooking pots, captivating the audience.

In the second world record, over 200 students from Vividha Academy delivered a synchronised mass vocal performance of 'Vande Mataram.'

Arranged under the direction of music director Abhay Tiwari, the choir filled the venue with patriotic devotion.

For the final world record, over 200 students presented a collective Kathak dance under the direction of academy director and Kathak guru Abhilasha Tiwari.
