The International Day of Yoga, marked annually on June 21, celebrates the ancient Indian practice that supports physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

The initiative was first proposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the United Nations General Assembly in 2014. Recognising yoga's global appeal, he suggested June 21 -- the Summer Solstice and the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere -- as the ideal day to observe this celebration of harmony and health.

The NDMC officials said the yoga sessions aim to encourage citizens to incorporate yoga into their daily routines and highlight its relevance in building resilience, inner balance, and a healthier planet.
