International Yoga Day is celebrated every year on June 21, and the first celebration took place in 2015. This date was chosen because it marks the summer solstice, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, symbolizing light. It is believed that on this day, Lord Shiva imparted the sacred knowledge of yoga to the Saptarishis.
