The sixth International Yoga Day is being observed across the world.
“Yoga unites, spreads brotherhood,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who played an instrumental role in popularising yoga in the world after coming to power in 2014, said in his message on Sunday.
Since 2015, International Yoga Day, is a United Nations designated day.
Yoga at Home and Yoga with Family, is the focus this year as experts advised people to stay home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
