Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar’s mortal remains were consigned to flames in a public funeral with full state honours amid chanting of vedic hymns and elaborate rituals performed by Hindu priests. The National Flag was carefully removed from her body, ceremonially folded and solemnly handed over to Lata’s nephew, Adinath Mangeshkar, who handed it to the other grieving family members present there.

For the final rites, Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to pay his last respects. Two-day national mourning will be observed in memory of Lata Mangeshkar, government sources informed on Sunday.

May her soul rest in peace!
