Delhi gears up for Yoga Day with 11 venues, new anthem
The Delhi government will hold programmes at 11 locations on the occasion of International Yoga Day on Saturday, said Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. 'This is the first time that Yoga Day is being celebrated on such a large scale in the capital, where 20,000 people will be participating,' she said. The participants will include all government officials, ministers, and legislators. The locations for the event are: Sonia Vihar along the Yamuna Ghat; Chhatrasal Stadium; Thyagaraj Stadium; East Vinod Nagar sports complex; Jhilmil sports complex; Rajiv Gandhi stadium; Prahladpur sports complex; Bharat Nagar sports complex; Najafgarh stadium; Dwarka Sector 6 cricket ground; East Ashok Nagar Hockey Stadium. The CM will be present at Sonia Vihar. Taking a dig at the previous AAP government, Gupta said it did not show any interest in celebrating the occasion. 'They had problems with accepting, performing, and conducting yoga, and only focused on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's face,' she said. The CM also launched the 'Delhi Yoga Anthem' sung by music composer and singer Amit Trivedi. The song features a three-minute-long video shot in different places in Delhi, which, Gupta said, is the 'New Tourist Circuit.' The places shown include Vasudev Ghat, Bharat Mandapam, Kartavya Path, Humayun's Tomb, Delhi Haat-INA, Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya, Asita Park, among others. 'Earlier, whenever we used to think about Delhi, it was just a few places that came to our mind. Now we have made multiple tourist locations at every corner, which are rooted in our culture,' Gupta said. The CM highlighted that yoga is not a one-day celebration but should be a daily routine to live a healthy and good lifestyle. 'We are very lucky that yoga is being recognised on the international stage,' she said. This year's theme for International Yoga Day is 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health.'
