On the eve of International Day of Yoga 2024, the Embassy of India in Nepal organised Yoga demonstrations at three iconic landmarks of Pokhara.

The events commenced with a sunrise Yoga session at the scenic Sarangkot viewpoint offering the participants breathtaking views of the Annapurna mountain range. 

This was followed by a Yoga demonstration at the revered Shiva Temple at Pumdikot near Pokhara. The Shiva Temple at Pumdikot, known for its tranquil ambience and majestic views, provided an ideal backdrop for the event, with participants connecting with nature and spirituality, enhancing the overall experience of the Yoga practice. 

The Embassy also organised a special Yoga demonstration at the Shanti Stupa in Pokhara which is the first World Peace Pagoda in Nepal situated on the picturesque Anadu Hill.

The events drew participants from different walks of life, including government officials, local citizens, and yoga enthusiasts, all coming together to embrace the benefits of this ancient practice, in line with this year’s theme of “Yoga for Self and Society”.
