Giant Bathukamma dismantled after Guinness World Record
Imagine a really, really big flower display called a Bathukamma, made to set a world record.
It was super tall, like a tall building!
After it did that, they took it apart.
The flowers were used to make incense sticks, which are used to make nice smells.
The metal parts were used to make other things.
The Bathukamma was built very quickly with a lot of people and special tools.
This shows how much work and collaboration was needed to build the record breaking structure.
The 63-foot Bathukamma was dismantled after setting a Guinness World Record.
The structure yielded 13 tonnes of flowers and 30 tonnes of metal.
Flowers came from several villages around Hyderabad.
Flowers will be used to make incense sticks.
The metal will be sent for scrapping.
