Rajasthan’s royal family is known for its unparalleled sacrifices, grand lifestyle, and unwavering dedication to social causes. From history books to modern-day philanthropy, they continue to inspire generations with their contributions. Yet again, the land of Mewar has given us another reason to take pride.
Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, a scion of the 1,500-year-old House of Mewar in Udaipur, has set a Guinness World Record by organizing the largest display of solar-powered lamps. On January 29, 2025, he and his team illuminated Udaipur with 2,203 solar lanterns, arranged in the form of a radiant sun with the Hindi word “सूर्योदय” (Suryauday) beneath it.
The initiative, named ‘Suryauday,’ aimed to break records and spread awareness about solar energy’s potential to uplift underprivileged communities. The solar lamps will now be donated to families without electricity access, symbolizing hope and empowerment.
A Record with a Purpose
Guinness World Records shared a video of the breathtaking display, which quickly gained traction online. Social media users praised the effort as a remarkable blend of art, sustainability, and social impact. In the comments, people lauded the initiative, calling it “illuminating” and “a step toward renewable energy for all”.
Speaking about his achievement, Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar posted on Instagram:
“As the sun rises, banishing darkness, our initiative ‘Suryauday’ embodies a similar spirit. These lamps will illuminate the homes of those who live in darkness, representing the greatest good for the greatest number.”
A Legacy of Giving Back
This is not the first time Lakshyaraj Singh has made history. This marks his ninth Guinness World Record in philanthropy, with previous records including the largest stress management session, the biggest school supply donation in 24 hours, and the largest clothing donation drive. His work continues to set an example of royalty with responsibility.
Through ‘Suryauday,’ he has yet again proved that the true essence of royalty lies not in grandeur alone, but in the commitment to uplifting lives.
