Rajahmundry: The over 8,000 kg 'laddu' prepared by a local shop during the Ganesh festival this year has set a Guinness Record as the largest sweetmeat of its kind for the fifth consecutive year, the makers said on Monday.

"We received the Guinness World Records certificate last evening for the fifth consecutive year. With the cooperation of our staff, people and Lord Ganesh's blessing, we bagged the award this year also," Tapeswaram's Sri Bhakta Anjaneya Sweets owner Saladi Venkateswara Rao said.
