Mathur extended his warm greetings to the people on the occasion.

“The global celebration of Yoga reflects the unique identity and ancient wisdom of our nation. What was envisioned and nurtured in India centuries ago has now transcended borders and become a part of daily life for millions across the world,” he said.

India’s most valuable contribution to the holistic well-being of humanity is honoured through this day, and the country takes immense pride in celebrating it, the governor said.
