“Yoga at Iconic Place” Contest to celebrate 11th International Day of Yoga 2025

To marks the 11th International Day of Yoga, The Embassy of India in Cairo launched “Yoga at Iconic Place” Contest, inviting participants to submit their photos performing proper Yoga poses at any iconic landmarks across Egypt. This initiative aims to promote the spirit of Yoga and highlight the cultural harmony between India and Egypt by encouraging participants to perform Yoga in front of Egypt’s most iconic landmarks.

Participants are invited to send a clear and recent photograph of themselves performing a correct Yoga posture (Asana) on a Yoga mat at any well-known or culturally significant location in Egypt (e.g., Pyramids of Giza, Cairo Citadel, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Karnak Temple, etc.). The Yoga pose should reflect discipline, balance, and serenity – core values of Yoga. The submission window is open from 25 May to 10 June 2025. Participants may submit their photo via the official Google Form link: https://forms.gle/kpVE6preHxm2DHBQ6 . 

Entries will be evaluated based on creativity, correctness of the Yoga posture, aesthetic appeal, and the prominence of the iconic location featured in the background. Winners of the contest will be announced and felicitated during the grand International Day of Yoga celebrations on 21 June 2025, and will receive attractive cash prizes in recognition of their efforts.

This contest is open to all Yoga practitioners, regardless of age or nationality, residing in Egypt. It’s a wonderful opportunity to combine wellness, photography, and cultural appreciation in a meaningful way.

The Indian  Embassy in Cairo warmly welcomes participants of all ages to take part in this contest. Join us in spreading the message of “Yoga for One Earth, One Health” from the heart of Egypt’s timeless landmarks.
