T.S. Srivatsa, MLA, on Thursday said Mysuru had attained global recognition for yoga, and added that the ancient art had received a prominent place in the ongoing Dasara celebrations.
Speaking after inaugurating the State-level yogasana competition organised as part of Yoga Dasara at the Dasara exhibition grounds here, he expressed happiness that yoga had got a prominent place in the celebrations considering its importance and the name the city had earned because of the ancient art. Yoga had been useful for keeping the body fit. “The asanas also help to keep the mind healthy too.”
Dasara was an occasion that portrayed the State’s art and culture. Like how the events were being organised, yoga had got the attention it deserved, he added.
