Ahmedabad, Jan 2 (PTI) The 14th Ahmedabad International Flower Show 2026 has set two Guinness World Records for the world’s largest ‘flower mandala’ and largest ‘flower portrait’, drawing praise from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who described the event as “captivating”.
“Ahmedabad’s flower show is truly captivating for everyone! It is a wonderful example of public participation along with creativity. It beautifully reflects the city’s vibrant spirit as well as its love for nature,” Modi wrote on X, sharing pictures from the event organised by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC).
The Bharat Ek Gatha-themed show, inaugurated by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel at the Sabarmati Riverfront, achieved the records for the largest flower mandala and a massive flower portrait of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the AMC said on Thursday.
