Any guesses how long a lamp has been burning in India?

Try 484 years!

The Asia Book of Records has officially recognized it as the longest burning.

It was first lit by a Hindu scholar back in 1528.

A temple priest said the lamp had been kept alight for religious people and for the peace of the world.
