Rajasthan CM leads thousands on yoga day

Jaipur, June 21: Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje along with thousands of others took part in the third edition of the International Yoga Day celebrations here on Wednesday.

From early morning, people trooped to the SMS Stadium to do yogic exercises. "Enthusiasm was great, but the number was a bit less than last year," a government official told.

Vasundhara Raje, her cabinet colleagues, and senior officials took part in the event which lasted for nearly 30 minutes.



The day was also observed in other districts of Rajasthan. The event was marred by heavy rains in Udaipur.

Prisoners at the Jaipur Central Jail also did yoga 'asanas', an official said.
