A 15-YEAR-OLD boy from India has broken the Guinness World Record for the largest playing card structure. Arnav Daga spent 41 days building replicas of four buildings from his home city of Kolkata, using approximately 143,000 cards. He built replicas of the Writers’ Building, the Shaheed Minar, Salt Lake Stadium and St Paul’s Cathedral.
Arnav’s finished project measures 40 feet long, 11 feet and 4 inches high, and 16 feet and 8 inches wide, breaking the previous record of 34 feet and 1 inch long, 9 feet and 5 inches tall, and 11 feet and 7 inches wide. Arnav hit a bump in the road when Shaheed Minar collapsed, slowing down the process.
The teenager told Guinness World Records, “It was frustrating that so many hours and days of work got wiped out and I had to do it all over again, but for me there was no turning back.”
