A storm during Vishwakarma Puja in Guwahati on Sunday toppled a bamboo idol of goddess Durga that was expected to set the Guinness World Record for the tallest bamboo sculpture. Nuruddin Ahmed was designing the 100-foot Durga idol, to be completed by September 20, on a 10-foot pedestal. An official said a committee is discussing the possibility of rebuilding it.
