A place in the Guinness Book

“Chief minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has also expressed his willingness to take part in the festivities on the final day. The imposing statue of Lord Venkateswara has already earned an unique place in the Guinness Book of World Records,” he said speaking to the media on Tuesday.

Moroever, the Government of Mauritius is also planning to develop a Spiritual and Medicinal Park in a sprawling 300 acres of land with the co-operation of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu governments.
