    The attempt by Dr V Gunasekaran titled "Longest Yoga Marathon (Male)" began at 5 PM on June 18 and ended at 2 PM on Monday.
     
    Talking from Pollachi, Mr Gunasekaran said that he took break for five minutes every one hour, as allowed, during which he consumed fruits and performed 200 asanas in the course of attempt.
