An era has truly ended. 83 years of legacy! From "Piya Tu Ab To Aaja" to "Dum Maro Dum", she defined generations. Respect to the family for carrying out the rituals with such dignity.

While the ritual is deeply meaningful, I do wish the media gave the family more privacy during such a personal moment of grief. The constant coverage must be overwhelming for them.

Ganga maiya in Varanasi has accepted another great soul. There's something profoundly peaceful about this news. Her voice was a gift to India. Now she rests where every Hindu wishes to.
