According to officials, 35,000 people took part in a day to celebrate harmony and peace around the world. Yoga is a term derived from a Sanskrit word which means, ‘to unify’.

The celebration of yoga is not missing Egypt and seeing that the day coincides with Ramadan, the Indian Embassy is hosting a massive yoga session today after Iftar at 7:30PM at the Indian Ambassador’s residence in Zamalek.
