Great initiative by CM Gupta! Yoga is our ancient gift to the world and it's wonderful to see Delhi leading the celebrations. The 11 locations cover all parts of the city - hope people from every colony participate. Jai Hind! 🙏

While I appreciate the yoga day events, I wish the government would focus more on improving Delhi's air quality throughout the year. Yoga in polluted air isn't very beneficial. Still, will participate with my family at Dwarka ground!

Good to see international participation from Malaysia and Sri Lanka! Yoga truly unites people across borders. The Qutub Minar event sounds especially grand - our heritage site showcasing our wellness heritage. Proud moment for India 🇮🇳

Hope they provide proper arrangements for senior citizens at these venues. Last year my mother couldn't participate because there were no seating arrangements for those who can't sit on the ground. Otherwise, excellent initiative!

Will there be any online streaming for those who can't attend physically? Many working professionals might want to join virtually. Otherwise, great to see yoga being promoted like this - our ancient practice getting its due recognition 😊

Hope this isn't just a one-day show. The government should establish permanent yoga centers
