The United Nations designated June 21 as International Yoga day in 2014, after it was suggested by PM Modi. This day was chosen as it’s the longest day of the year. It is celebrated with much fervour across the country.
On International Yoga Day last year, PM Modi had said: “The gems of India’s unique heritage such as yoga will be respected by the world at large only when we ourselves respect our culture and traditions, and take part in our legacy and heritage.”
