Pramoda Devi Wadiyar said she had written a letter to the prime minister, inviting him for breakfast.
“I had invited to come to our house — it may be a palace for others — for breakfast, when he comes to Mysuru for Yoga Day. I had written a letter to him and he has accepted it, and we are happy,” she said.
Over 15,000 participants participated in the yoga event, with crores of people joining various IDY 2022 programmes across India and the world.
