The coastal city of Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh is buzzing with excitement as it prepares to host the 11th International Day of Yoga celebrations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who arrived this evening, will lead a grand yoga session along the city’s picturesque coastline tomorrow. He is expected to be joined by over 300,000 participants, including 11,009 naval personnel. The event will unfold over a 26-kilometre stretch from RK Beach to Bhogapuram, with organizers aiming to set a new Guinness World Record.
In addition to the main event, yoga demonstrations will be held at more than 150,000 locations across Andhra Pradesh, including on Indian Naval and Coast Guard ships anchored off the Visakhapatnam coast.
To commemorate the day, the “Visakhapatnam Yoga Declaration” will be launched, representing a joint commitment by both the Centre and the State to integrate yoga into everyday life. Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu has finalized preparations to ensure the event will stand as a historic milestone in India’s journey toward wellness. With thorough logistical planning, designated yoga zones, QR-based registration, and extensive medical and security measures, the state has transformed this celebration into a national movement promoting collective health, discipline, and holistic well-being.
