Bhai Sarvan Singh Jee

[AvnitK]

A Surrey, B.C., man is hoping he may soon be recognized as having the world's longest living beard.

Three judges measured Sarwan Singh's beard at 2.33 metres, or seven feet 7.75 inches, on Tuesday at a special ceremony at the Akal Academy where Singh is a music teacher.

The current record is held by Shamsher Singh of Punjab, India. His beard was 1.8 metres (six feet) from the end of his chin to the tip in 1997.

The measurement will now be submitted to the publishers of the Guinness World Records for recognition.

As a devoted Sikh, Singh believes uncut hair is one of the five physical symbols of devotion to the Sikh religion.

And while the 43-year-old Singh does not speak English, his family told CBC News they were exceptionally proud of his achievement.

Post from Khalsa Dal:

Singh was attempting to break the Guinness World Record for beard length. His beard was eventually measured at a hefty 1.895 metres.

Judges prepare to measure the beard of Sarwan Singh during a ceremony in Surrey, British Columbia on Tuesday.
