Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment will organise a special Yoga Day celebration at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi today. As part of the nationwide celebrations of the 12th International Day of Yoga (IDY) 2026, the event is expected to bring together nearly 1,500 senior citizens.

The celebration is being organised in alignment with the national theme of the Day – “Yoga for Healthy Ageing”. Reflecting this national vision, the Ministry’s celebration seeks to promote Yoga as a practical and sustainable approach for supporting longevity, emotional well-being, and dignified ageing among elders.

The programme will include collective performance of the Yoga by senior citizens and a spiritual discourse focusing on mindful living, inner harmony, emotional wellness and healthy ageing.
