Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav stated that the grand classical dance marathon, dedicated to the worship of the divine and now a Guinness World Record, will elevate the prestige of dance practitioners. He emphasized that this achievement is a proud moment for the country’s culture and artists. It is a significant means to preserve cultural heritage and gain international recognition. Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the 51st Khajuraho Dance Festival, Dr. Yadav expressed that through this Guinness World Record, the world will witness India's diverse and rich cultural legacy. The continuous 24-hour 9-minute 26-second dance performance by 139 artists has not only inspired art practitioners but also strengthened government initiatives to preserve culture and heritage. Dr. Yadav praised Bundelkhand’s sacred land, stating, "Here, even stones shine like diamonds, and people shine like Bundelas. Similarly, when dance flourishes in Bundelkhand, it becomes the internationally renowned Khajuraho Dance Festival."
