Prime Minister Narendra Modi participates in a yoga session in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, during his two-day state visit. Reports say he interacts with participants and takes a group photograph at an outdoor venue, alongside yoga practitioners and officials.
Multiple outlets describe the session as organised by the Yoga Federation of Uzbekistan, with Modi observed moving among attendees and watching different asanas. The most detailed account focuses on a moment where he appears to guide or correct participants’ postures during practice, while others emphasize his participation and social interaction. The event is also framed as a cultural link, highlighting yoga’s growing visibility in Uzbekistan.
In parallel with the yoga programme, outlets note that Modi’s visit includes high-level bilateral engagement with Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. Delegation-level discussions are reported to cover areas such as trade and defense partnerships, ahead of Modi’s participation in the SCO summit in Bishkek. The Hindu adds that the visit runs from August 29 to 30 and follows an invitation from Mirziyoyev, describing it as Modi’s fourth visit to the country.
