Lata Mangeshkar is undeniably the most celebrated singer in the country. She has given her blissful voice for more than 1000 songs in 36 languages in a career spanning over 80+ years.
The singer passed away on Sunday in Mumbai at the age of 92. She was declared dead at the Breach Candy hospital at 8:12 AM. She was admitted to the hospital at the start of the year due to COVID-19 and was recovering well. But due to her previous lung conditions, she suffered from complications, and despite best efforts from doctors, she could not make it.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has announced two-day national mourning in memory of the legendary singer. The government also added that the National flag will fly at half-mast for two days as a mark of respect.
The mortal remains of Lata Mangeshkar are to be taken to her residence around 12:30. Her body will be kept there for two hours. The last rites with full State honors will be conducted at Shivaji Park at 6:30 PM today.
