India gears up to celebrate International Yoga Day

Thousands of people gathered at different venues across the country for an early start to the International Day of Yoga on June 21.
The United Nations recognised June 21 as the International Day of Yoga, three months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi proposed the idea in 2014
The FRI campus was closed for visitors for two days to prepare the venue for the event, while women officials led a 'Walk for Yoga' through the main roads of the city to motivate people to turn up in large numbers to ensure its success.
