From Delhi to Sydney and Paris to Beijing, enthusiasts around the world gathered together to perform yoga poses to mark the second edition of the International Yoga Day on June 21. 

In India, the main celebrations were at the city of Chandigarh, where Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined 30,000 people in participating at a mass yoga session. “Just like you have made the mobile phone a part of your life, make yoga a part of your life too," Modi said at the event. 

Around 10,000 other yoga camps and events were held across the country. Here are glimpses of some of them.
