More than 30,000 people will perform yoga tomorrow at Sawai Mansingh stadium here on International Yoga Day.
Union minister Uma Bharti and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje will take part in the event along with public representatives, government officials, members of social organisations, NCC, scout and guide, Nehru Yuva Kendra, students and others, said state Health Minister Rajendra Rathore.
More than 40 lakh people across the state will take part in International Yoga Day programmes, he claimed.
The Chief Minister has appealed to the people of the state to turn to yoga for a "healthy and balanced" life.
Yoga is a "priceless medicine" which leads one towards a healthy life. It is an integral part of Indian culture. Thanks to India's efforts, the UN has recognised June 21 as International Yoga Day and people the world over are embracing yoga, Raje said in a message.
