← Longest Spinning a Traditional Top (Lattu)

The record for the longest spinning of a traditional top (lattu) was set by Manoj Shinde from Mumbai. He managed to keep the lattu spinning for an impressive 12 hours straight. This remarkable feat took place on October 2, 2017, as part of a community event organized to promote traditional games and folk art. The event, held at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Park in Mumbai, attracted a large crowd, eager to witness the ancient game of spinning the lattu, which is a popular pastime in Maharashtra and other parts of India. Manoj's dedication to maintaining the balance and precision required to keep the top spinning for such an extended period not only set the record but also helped revive interest in traditional games that are part of Maharashtra's cultural heritage.
