The mascots Provide an eye-catching way of helping boost the awareness of International Day Of Yoga . They are connecting with families by providing added entertainment and interactivity, especially at Malls , Public Places , Events & Recreational Tourist Areas . 

Mascots appeal to individuals because they are memorable, a visual aid that encompasses everything about the Campaign Message from its ethos to its style . These mascots are leaving a great impact on audience in the blink of an eye, so the viewers does not have to think too much but can take in a lot of information at a glance.

The Human-size  IDY Mascots are running the campaign & spreading the message of Yoga Day in Delhi NCR, Lucknow and Haryana starting 8th June 2107.
