A man from Bikaner in Rajasthan is making headlines across the world, and not for the usual reasons. Girdhar Vyas, a local resident, has grown what he claims to be one of the longest moustaches in the world, measuring approximately 40 feet in total length, with 20 feet on each side. The remarkable measurement was recently confirmed using a measuring tape, producing a figure that has left many astonished.
Vyas is now preparing to formally register his achievement with the Guinness Book of World Records. While several individuals have previously laid claim to the title of the world's longest moustache, it is Vyas and his extraordinary facial hair that are the talk of Bikaner at present.
