International Day of Yoga 2026: ‘Gangotri to Gangasagar’ Yoga Yatra reaches Prayagraj

Ahead of International Day of Yoga 2026, a huge event was organised at Dashashwamedh Ghat in Prayagraj as part of the ‘Gangotri to Gangasagar: Ganga Tat Yoga Yatra’ campaign. The programme, led by the Ministry of AYUSH, brought together officials, yoga practitioners, local administration representatives and residents to celebrate wellness and public participation.

The eight-day yatra began in Gangotri on June 14 and is travelling across eight states along the course of the Ganga before concluding at Gangasagar on June 20. Yoga sessions are being conducted at prominent ghats to spread awareness about holistic health, sustainable living and environmental responsibility.

Officials said the initiative combines India’s yoga heritage with river conservation efforts and community engagement ahead of the International Day of Yoga, observed globally every year on June 21.
