The fifth International Day of Yoga was observed across Uttar Pradesh on Friday, with Governor Ram Naik and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath attending the main programme in the state capital.
The main programme was held at the Raj Bhawan. Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma was also present on this occasion.
UP BJP general secretary Vidyasagar Sonkar said International Yoga Day functions have been organised across the state and in almost all districts.
State ministers joined the functions in their respective districts.
Speaking on the occasion, Governor Ram Naik said, "We have seen the minute aspect of yoga, and today on the occasion of International Yoga Day, the entire world is seeing the 'viraat' (huge) size of yoga."
Adityanath in a tweet said, "Yoga is a special gift to the entire world from India, and today it has assumed the shape of a global movement. The aim of the International Yoga Day is to expand the ambit of benefit of Yoga across the world, and spread awareness about it."
