Seeing the tricolour draped on her is so moving. She was a national treasure. Her voice had a unique spark that could never be replicated. The end of an era in Indian music.

Full state honours is fitting, but I hope this moment also makes us reflect on how we treat our living legends. Are we doing enough to preserve their legacies and support them in their later years?

My heart goes out to her family, especially her granddaughter. It's beautiful to see such a diverse crowd from film, politics, and music come together to honor her. A life truly well-lived.

From "Ina Mina Dika" to "Radha Kaise Na Jale," her range was unbelievable. She sang for my grandmother, my mother, and for me. That's real immortality. Om Shanti.

The guard of honour at her residence... what a poignant image. She gave so much to the nation through her art. It's only right the nation gives her this final salute. A giant has fallen.
