The Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) has once again drawn global attention by setting another Guinness World Record with its spectacular drone show organised as part of the world-famous Mysuru Dasara celebrations. After creating a tiger design using drones and earning a Guinness World Record last year, CESC has added another feather to its cap this year by creating a design of the peacock, India’s national bird, using 3,473 drones. The new record was achieved during the drone show held on Sunday evening at the Torchlight Parade Grounds in Bannimantap, Mysuru. Thousands of drones illuminated the night sky with synchronised, colourful lights, forming an impressive peacock design that left thousands of spectators gathered at the venue spellbound. Among the 12 designs presented during the show, the peacock formation created using 3,473 drones earned the distinction of being the largest aerial display of a bird formed using drones, securing a place in the Guinness World Records. Following the performance, members of the Guinness World Records team, who arrived from London, officially announced the achievement and presented the Guinness World Records certificate to CESC Technical Director L. Lokesh and other officials.

Ravishankar, Mysuru Regional Commissioner Nitesh Patil, and officials from CESC and the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) were among those present.
