GG News Bureau
Mysuru, 23rd May. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead the main Yoga event in Mysuru on June 21 on the International Day of Yoga.
The event is being organized in the physical mode after a break of two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the country commemorates the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, the International Day of Yoga will be celebrated at 75 iconic places across the country and will focus on branding India on a worldwide scale, Ayush Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said.
A series of super events are being arranged in the run up to Day with a 25-day countdown to be observed in Hyderabad on May 27, wherein around 10,000 Yoga enthusiasts will participate in the Yoga demonstration.
The earlier mega countdown events were organized at Shivdol (50-day countdown on May 2) and at the Red Fort (75-day countdown on April 7).
Apart from the main event at Mysuru, another attraction on June 21 this year will be the Guardian Ring — a relay Yoga streaming event, which will capture and weave together digital feed of International Day of Yoga programmes organized by Indian Missions abroad.
The proposed plan is to initiate the streaming from Japan, the land of the rising sun, at 6 am local time, and it will culminate in New Zealand, Sonowal stated. Around 70 countries are likely to participate in the relay event.
Union ministers, film and sports personalities, Yoga experts and factions will be among those who will attend the event.
