Learners and practitioners get a chance to enhance their capability

PONDICHERRY: The Thirteenth International Yoga Festival conducted by the Department of Tourism, which began on Wednesday, was marked by brisk participation by the young boys and girls and also middle-aged persons in various competitions conducted at Muthialpet near here on Friday. Special lectures on the various features, relevance and utility of yoga were organised as part of the festival.
