The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a cluster of 836 islands off the eastern coast of India, set a new Guinness World Record on Saturday by unfurling the world’s largest underwater national flag at Radhanagar beach.
The massive tricolour flag, measuring approximately 60 by 40 metres, was deployed beneath the sea in a complex, tightly coordinated operation involving multiple agencies and trained divers at Havelock Island.
