World famous Khajuraho temple was also included among the 75 iconic places of the country where mass yoga events were organised. In the event, BJP state president VD Sharma while addressing the crowd thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for including this world heritage site for a yoga session as this would further help in promoting tourism among foreigners.
