According to ancient beliefs, the act of blowing a conch before initiating any auspicious work brings blessings from God. The sound of the conch is thought to spread positive energy, eliminating obstacles and imperfections. In line with the directives of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, there is a proposal to set a world record by blowing 1,111 conch shells at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi. The assistance of NCZCC (North Central Zone Cultural Centre) and IGNCA (Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts) will be sought for this endeavor. Additionally, efforts will be made to set a world record for the collective performance of Saryu aarti.
