Jaipur:
World's shortest woman Jyoti Amge today released the biggest book measuring 30x24 feet written by Jain Muni Shri Tarun Sagar at a function in Jaipur.
"A very happy moment that world's shortest woman is releasing the world's biggest book," Ms Amge said on the occasion.
"I have become the world's daughter...Jain Muni's book is good and the people of Jaipur are nice," she said.
The book weighs 2,000 kg and is 30 feet high and 24 feet wide. About 1,500 kg iron, 100 litres of colour and 400 kg flax were used by ten workers who came from Ahmedabad and Nasik. It took them four days to make the book.
A representative of Limca Book of Records presented a certificate of a new record to Jain Muni and Jyoti Amge.
This book has beaten Limca Book of Records' earlier citation of 25x17 feet made on July 28 last year in Ahmedabad.
After the book titled 'Kadve Pravachan' was released by Jyoti, whose height is just under under 25 inches, a spokesperson for the author said the book was the seventh volume of the series on religion penned by the author.
"Over 60 lakh copies of the previous six volumes have been sold. This is the seventh volume and its smaller versions will soon be in print," the spokesperson said.
