Setting a new Guinness World Record, at least 524 students in New Delhi dressed up as Noble Prize winning scientist Albert Einstein on Friday during the ongoing India International Science Festival (IISF).

The students were dressed as Einstein, sporting the scientist's trademark wig and moustache to beat the last year's record of 304 students of Black Pine Circle School in California.

The record "the largest gathering of people dressed as Albert Einstein" was earlier held in 2015.

Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Harsh Vardhan, also attended the event and wished the students before the event.

Einstein was a German-born physicist, who is known for developing the famed general theory of relativity and propounding the famous equation E = mc2.
