International Day of Yoga was celebrated in the backdrop of the iconic Mysuru palace in the city on June 21 with nearly 15,000 people taking part in the UN’s annual event highlighting the health benefits of the ancient Indian discipline.
Stakeholders, including members of various yoga organisations in Mysuru, had taken the initiative to organise a series of pre-event activities stretching for three weeks in the run-up to the programme on June 21. A salient feature of the yoga day event was the participation of children with special abilities.
