Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar’s ashes immersed in the waters of Mumbai by her brother, niece and nephew

On 6thFebruary, the nation woke up to a heartbreaking news-- legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar had breathed her last at the age of 92, due to multi-organ failure after over 28 days of hospitalization. The people of our country were devastated to hear that the Nightingale of India was no more. Later that day, Lata didi’s last rites were performed with full State honours at Shivaji Park ground in Mumbai. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shah Rukh Khan , Ranbir Kapoor and Sachin Tendulkar among many other famous personalities reached the funeral to pay their last respects to the Swar Kokila.

While Lata ji’s ashes were immersed in Nashik a few days ago, her brother Hridaynath, niece Rachna and nephew Adinath decided to keep half of the ashes to immerse in the Arabian Sea. A report shared by ETimes has shared that the remaining ashes were immersed in the waters of Mumbai by the Gateway Of India recently. A source was quoted saying, “Lata ji loved Mumbai to the core. Her family felt that it would be only fitting if her ashes are immersed in the waters of Mumbai.”

The source went on to add, “This had been decided on the day that Lata ji passed away (February 6, 2022). It wasn't something that was decided on the second or third day after her demise.” Well, Lata didi’s love for Mumbai was no secret. We hope this decision makes her happy as she looks down at us from above.

May God bless her soul and may she continue to live on in our hearts.
