The Man with the largest turban in the World: Avatar Singh Mauna

He is Avatar Singh Mauna. He wears the worlds largest turban. When unwrapped it is 645 meters long. It wigs 100 pounds (45kg).

It is indeed surprising to see how he can bear that weight and walk around with it. Not just the turban but in addition he also carries the weapons and ornaments on the turban. Along with the ornaments it  weighs about 187 pounds (85 kilos). According to him he does not consider it a burden at all. He often travels on his motorbike

Mauni spends six hours a day getting it on his head, and his holy headgear is so large that the only way he can get to his local temple in Patiala, Northern India, is via motorcycle

 Mauni would like the recognition, but admits he wants to have more than just photo ops with his fellow humans
