India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, known for his reputation of an ascetic, is participating in a yoga session at the U.N. during his three-day visit to the United States. Wednesday's event is aimed to raise awareness worldwide of the benefits of practicing yoga, some nine years after the Hindu nationalist leader successfully lobbied the U.N. to designate June 21 International Yoga Day. Modi has harnessed yoga as a cultural soft power to extend his nation's diplomatic reach and assert his country's rising place in the world. (AP Photo/Manish Swarup, File)
