Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC) received the Guinness Book of World Records title for most simultaneous origami sculpture foldings.”The record that needed to be broken was 1304, and 2121 was accomplished here. It was incredibly good to be a part of the attempt, which has included a lot of work. The event was made even more special by the sheer number of pupils and practise days. There were several rules, and the minimum was three sculptures and 15 minutes per person. Around 23,000 boats were made, and although it wasn’t a record for speed, it was for the number of people who made origami sculptures, according to Rishi, a Guinness Book of World Records official adjudicator.
