Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined thousands celebrating International Yoga Day around the country on June 21. Modi was seen participating in the event in Andhra Pradesh's Visakhapatnam.
The 11th International Yoga Day is being celebrated across the world with the theme of "Yoga for One Earth, One Health". The day has been celebrated across the world since 2015, after being proposed by India at the UN.
Modi urged the international community to embrace "inner peace" as a "global policy" and make yoga a collective global responsibility. "Let every country and every society make yoga a shared responsibility, a common contribution toward collective well-being," Modi said.
