Since its inception in 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has celebrated International Yoga Day with grandeur, consistency, and global outreach, turning June 21 into an emblem of India's cultural diplomacy. Following the UN’s recognition in December 2014, Modi has led celebrations each year from iconic locations - including Rajpath in Delhi, the Capitol Complex in Chandigarh, and even New York's UN Headquarters in 2023.

Each year, PM Modi performs asanas alongside thousands - be it army jawans in Ladakh or citizens in Mysuru - sending a message of health, unity, and ancient wisdom. His participation has helped bring world leaders, celebrities, and millions of citizens across continents onto the yoga mat.

More than a fitness ritual, Modi has positioned Yoga Day as a global movement for wellness and spiritual balance, one that reinforces India's identity as the cradle of holistic living. With every passing year, the celebrations have only grown in scale, symbolism, and international impact.
