International turban artist Pawan Vyas proudly set a new world record at the beginning of the year during the prestigious International Camel Festival 2025.

The record breaking event took place at the Nagarsheth Lakshminath Temple in Bikaner district of Rajasthan, northern India on January 10.

Visuals show Vyas tying a turban at remarkable speed under a colourful shed, showcasing Rajasthani culture. As the turban grew larger by the minute, the audience eagerly watched. When the turban was finally wrapped, the crowd erupted in cheers, creating a vibrant and joyous atmosphere. Following the achievement, Vyas was presented with a certificate by the event’s authorities.

To officially verify the record, Pratham Bhalla, a representative from the World Book of Records, London, was present. After the achievement, the District Collector, Namrata Vrishni, Municipal Commissioner Mayank Manish, Tourism Officer Anil Rathore, and other officials attended the event. Bhalla later presented Vyas with a certificate to commemorate the achievement.

Vyas shared that his family has long been committed to preserving the turban-tying tradition, with great pride and respect for their culture. Their aim is to protect this cultural practice and ensure its continued relevance for future generations.
