International Yoga Day was observed at SMS stadium here with Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and Union minister Uma Bharti taking part in a programme.
The hour-long event at the stadium saw a large turnout, with MPs Ramcharan Bohra and Om Mathur, as well as state cabinet ministers and officials taking part.
A large number of people also performed 'asanas' outside the venue where big screens were installed.
On the occasion, Bharti lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for getting June 21 recognised as International Yoga Day.
"PM has united the world with yoga. I would ask every one to make Yoga a daily practice which can help in keeping us healthy," she said.
She, however did not perform 'asanas' due to health reasons and only did breathing exercises while seated on a chair.
After the event, Bharti visited the Govind Devji temple and offered prayers there.
