Yeah, the land of spices, the Taj Mahal, and all that jazz.

But what about all the bizarre world records held in this country?

From the world's longest mustache to the fastest nose-typer on the planet and every oddity in between!

Ok, let's start with something that'll really tug at your heartstrings.

Standing at just 2 feet tall is an adorable little cow that goes by the name Manikyam.

But she's not just any tiny cow, she's the world's shortest!

In case you've never heard of it, chapati is a flatbread that's traditional to Indian cuisine.

If you wanna cook it yourself, all you need is whole wheat flour, or chapati flour, ice cold water, and a bit of salt.

Oh, sorry, this isn't a cooking channel now, is it?

Anyway, for anyone with eyes bigger than their belly, how'd you like to have a go at the world's biggest chapati?

Since we're on the topic of food, here's another record-breaking, mouth-watering item.

Biryani is a traditional Indian dish made with rice, meat, vegetables, and eggs.

Well, a company called Kohinoor Foods decided to make a whole bunch of it back in 2008.

And when I say a whole bunch, I mean 31,000 pounds of the stuff!

Ok, let's move away from the food before my stomach decides it's time for lunch.

This guy carries around 77 pounds of pure turban made from 1,312 feet of cloth.

And, yes, it is the world's longest, for now.

But it looks like Avtar Singh Mauni and his 2,116-foot-long turban are coming for that title!

Until that day comes, Guinness has Major Singh's turban as the longest.

Now let's delve a little deeper into the most bizarre records India holds.

A guy named Vinod Kumar Chaudhary, from New Delhi, holds the world record for the fastest typing using only his nose.

In 46.3 seconds, he typed the sentence "Guinness world records have challenged me to type this sentence using my nose in the fastest time."

March 4, 2010 marked a very important event.

At least when it comes to the fascinating world of facial hair.

A man named Ram Singh Chauhan broke the world record for the longest mustache ever.

His whiskers are about 14 feet long, and it took him, get ready for this, 32 years to grow!

On October 26, 2017, 578 women formed the longest head massage chain in the world!

The probably very relaxing event was organized by Bajaj Almond Drops Hair Oil in order to promote their new product.

Man, I bet those guys carrying around those larger-than-life turbans could use a nice head massage, don't you think?

We all know that yoga is a really important part of Indian culture.

Well, have you ever seen the world's largest yoga class?

It might come as no surprise that it took place in India, but exactly how large it was might come as a shock.

On June 21, 2018⁠—which is World Yoga Day, by the way⁠—100,984 people gathered in the Indian town of Kota for one massive yoga sesh!

They nearly doubled the previous record that was also set in India with 54,522 participants in 2017.

Hm, I wonder how many people will be there this year!

Now, this one proves that India is one of the most neighborly countries on our planet.

In 2018, 1,730 people gathered in Kerala for a nice friendly handshake and a world record for the longest handshake relay!

Congrats to Suraj and Rajesh Kumar Meher for creating the world's largest remote control in 2018.

The remote is almost 15 feet long, and, get this, it actually works and everything!

All I gotta say is one, there's a remote you'd never have to worry about losing, and two, how big is the TV it goes to?

If you're ever feeling down and really in need of a hug, just head to India!

And if you want a whole bunch of them, just find Jayasimha Ravirala, who broke the world record for the most hugs given in one hour by an individual with 2,436 hugs!

When most people think of famous Indians, they probably imagine Mohandas Gandhi.

Well, I'd probably be getting my eyes checked right away.

Anyway, you could've on October 2, 2018, if you happened to be in the city of Nalgonda, where the world's largest gathering of People Dressed as Mohandas Gandhi took place.

They even had fake mustaches, glasses, and walking sticks!

Remember Ram Singh Chauhan and his epic mustache?

Well, how about the world's longest hair?

Technically, it's the longest hair on a teenager, 16-year-old Nilanshi Patel to be exact.

This teen's record-breaking hair is 5 feet 7 inches long!

It's kinda simple, she just stopped cutting her hair.

No, seriously, she said that she'd decided never to cut it again after getting a really bad haircut when she was 6.

an Indian man named Victor Anthony has the longest ear hair in the world.

It's a little over 7 inches long. So, yeah, there's that.

On March 21, 2017, 4,620 people in India set

a new world record for the largest tree hug.

This record was part of the International Day of Forests, and each participant had to

Let's go back to hilariously large items, like a giant flute!

Yup, it's the longest one you can find in the world, and it's just shy of 12 feet

And in case you were wondering, yes, you can play it.

In fact, it was used to play the Indian national anthem!

You might know her from "American Horror Story: Freak Show," where she played the role of Ma

But she's not just famous on the big screen, she's also the world's shortest woman!

She got the title at the age of 18 and stands at 2 foot 1.

Guinness World Record judge, Mike Janela, is quoted as saying, “She may be the shortest

living woman, but Jyoti Amge is one of the biggest personalities we have in the Guinness

Speaking of the big screen, here's a movie poster you couldn't miss if you tried!

Actually, we have two records broken here: the world's largest poster advertises the

The poster itself covers an area of about 51,600 square feet.

That's almost as big as a football field, by the way.

Now I see why the movie was so expensive!

The Central Institute of Plastics Engineering & Technology managed to break a new world

record on January 23, 2019 when they got 3,373 people together to form the largest human

Now that's an eye-catching way to draw attention to the world's plastic waste crisis!

India sure does know a thing or two about
