From Surya Namaskar in Ladakh to Pranayam in the Bay of Bengal, Indian defence forces celebrate International Yoga Day
As the fourth edition of the International Yoga Day kicked off on Thursday, armed forces did their bit by organising yoga sessions across the country.
In Ladakh, Indo-Tibetan Border Police personnel defied the biting cold weather and performed Surya Namaskar asana (posture), at an altitude of 18,000 feet. The jawans were seen doing yoga wrapped up with thick jackets and woollen caps to beat the chill.
