June 21 was designated World Yoga Day on PM Modi's suggestion in his speech at the UN General Assembly in 2014, months after he was first elected to office.

Since then, the government marks the day in a big way with thousands participating in mass Yoga events across the country.

PM Modi, a Yoga enthusiast, is expected to join an event in Jharkhand capital Ranchi this year.

The Yoga videos depicting PM Modi's animated version guiding viewers on various asanas debuted online last year.
