Mysuru: Last year on June 21, Mysuru entered the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest gathering at a single venue held on the occasion of the International Yoga Day at the spacious 139 acre Mysore Race Course. This year, the state government has decided to celebrate the state-level International Yoga Day in Mysuru with grandeur.
Mysuru was one of four cities that was chosen to host the International Yoga Day celebrations, a list that recently shrank to two cities- Mysuru and Jaipur. Upwards of 2000 people have already signed up to take part in the International Yoga Day celebrations to be held in Mysuru and the yoga experts in Mysuru, are technically ready to host the Yoga Day celebrations.
Earlier this year in February, when the Prime Minister visited Mysuru, Deputy Commissioner D Randeep handed him a booklet, through Member of Parliament Pratap Simha, explaining how with minimal support, the city of Mysuru was able to achieve the world record, also inviting him to this year’s celebrations. The PM, impressed by this, said that he would try and make it to this year’s grand celebration of the International Yoga Day.
