But did you know when and how did World Laughter Day celebrations began? The history dates back to 1998. It is credited to the founder of the Laughter Yoga Movement, known as the 'Guru of Giggling'. He celebrated World Laughter Day for the first time on January 11, 1998 in Mumbai. The purpose of this event was to reduce the growing stress in society and to teach the art of living a happy life.
