On September 23, the legendary Assamese singer Zubeen Garg was cremated with full state honours in Kamarkuchi village, near Guwahati. The emotional farewell saw lakhs of fans, celebrities, and well-wishers gathering to pay their last respects to the cultural icon. Draped in the traditional Assamese gamosa and laid in a cold glass coffin, Zubeen’s mortal remains were carried in a flower-adorned ambulance from the Arjun Bhogeswar Baruah Sports Complex, where the public had gathered for two days to mourn the loss. His sister, Palmee Borthakur, performed the final rites as fans sang his beloved song ‘Mayabini,’ creating a deeply touching atmosphere of love and loss.
