New Delhi: As part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations, the International Day of Yoga-2022 will also feature yoga sessions at 75 heritage cultural sites on June 21, an official statement said.
In Karnataka it has been organised at Mysuru, Halebeedu, Hampi, Pattadakal and Vijayapura (Gol Gumbaz). While Prime Minister Modi would inaugurate the event in Mysuru, Union Minister of State for Agriculture Shobha Karandlaje would participate in the event at Halebeedu.

Guardian Ring
Apart from the main event at Mysuru, another attraction on June 21 this year will be the Guardian Ring — a relay Yoga streaming event — which will capture and weave together digital feed of International Day of Yoga programmes organised by Indian Missions abroad.
The proposed plan is to initiate the streaming from Japan, the land of the rising sun, at 6 am local time and it will culminate in New Zealand. Around 70 countries are likely to participate in the relay event. Union Ministers, film and sports personalities, Yoga experts and enthusiasts will be among those who will attend the event.
