Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to travel to Gujarat on Saturday to take part in events marking International Yoga Day. His visit will include attendance at a dedicated Yoga Day programme being held in Ahmedabad.
Celebrated every year on June 21, International Yoga Day serves to emphasise the significance of yoga in fostering overall health and wellness. Rooted in India&rsquo;s ancient traditions, yoga is known for its contribution to maintaining a balanced and healthy way of life.
The Gujarat State Yoga Board has led efforts to promote yoga as a daily practice, gaining recognition on the global stage. On Yoga Day in 2023, the Board hosted a massive event in Surat where 1,47,952 people came together to perform yoga.&nbsp;
This achievement was officially entered into the Guinness World Records for being the largest number of individuals performing yoga simultaneously.
Building on that milestone, another Guinness World Record was achieved on January 1, 2024, when more than 50,000 participants performed Surya Namaskar across 108 different venues. Among these was the renowned Modhera Sun Temple, where a significant portion of the record-setting activity took place.
