Mahila Manovikas is attempting to set a Guinness World Record by creating a 13-kilometre [1] tricolour string of crochet buntings.
The project represents a massive scale of international collaboration, utilizing traditional handicraft to achieve a global milestone. By coordinating a distributed workforce, the organization aims to highlight collective effort through a single, continuous piece of art.
This effort marks the organization's fourth [1] Guinness World Record attempt. The project involves a total of 330 [1] participants located across the world, who are contributing their crochet work to reach the target length.
The bunting features the tricolour design, reflecting a specific cultural and national identity through the medium of yarn and crochet. Each participant contributes a segment of the final string, which will eventually be joined to verify the total distance of 13 kilometres [1].
The Hindu said the project consists of "a 13-km crochet tiranga bunting made by 330 participants from across the world" [1]. The organization is currently managing the logistics of gathering these contributions from various international locations to ensure the record attempt meets the strict criteria set by Guinness World Records.
Because the participants are spread globally, the project relies on precise measurements and standardized crochet patterns to ensure the final bunting is uniform. The coordination of hundreds of individuals across different time zones and regions underscores the organizational ambition of Mahila Manovikas in pursuing this specific record.

This attempt demonstrates the intersection of traditional craft and global digital coordination. By leveraging a distributed network of 330 participants, Mahila Manovikas is transforming a solitary hobby into a large-scale collaborative event, signaling a trend where record-breaking attempts are increasingly decentralized and inclusive of global contributors.
