International Yoga Day 2025 events will be held in 1,300 cities, focussing on yoga's benefits for mental and physical health amidst global challenges. PM Modi will participate in Visakhapatnam's grand celebration.

Modi persuaded the U.N. to designate the annual International Day of Yoga in 2014. The theme this year was “Yoga for One Earth, One Health.”
