Speaking at the picturesque SKICC on the banks of Dal Lake, he underlined that yoga's benefits extend beyond spirituality, promoting personal and societal development.
Despite early morning rain, which moved the event indoors, scores of students participated in various asanas with the Prime Minister, eagerly taking selfies with him. Modi's tweet, 'Post Yoga selfies in Srinagar! Unparalleled vibrancy here, at the Dal Lake,' showcased the event's spirited ambiance.
