SRINAGAR: Marking the occasion of the 11th International Day of Yoga, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) organised a yoga session at the Ghanta Ghar in Lal Chowk, Srinagar, on Saturday morning.

Several participants, including party workers, locals, and yoga enthusiasts, began gathering early at the prominent city square, which has historically held political significance in the region.

While the celebrations unfolded in Srinagar, the central event of the day was held in Visakhapatnam, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the nationwide observance of International Yoga Day.

Addressing a large gathering along the city's scenic coastline, the Prime Minister described yoga as a timeless gift that transcends age, borders, and backgrounds uniting humanity in "health and harmony."

The event took place against the scenic backdrop of the Visakhapatnam coastline, with Indian Navy ships stationed near the shore, adding to the grandeur of the celebrations.
