ULUWATU: More than 100 multi-coloured paragliders filled the sky over Indonesia’s Bali island Sunday, as they set a new world record for the largest number of gliders flying at the same time.

They set off from rugged clifftops in the south of the resort island and flew high into the azure sky, floating over the sea, Hindu temples and red-roofed villages.
