Assam singer Zubeen Garg’s death has paralyzed Guwahati. Thousands lined the 25-km route from the airport to his home in Kahilipara on Sunday. Shops, restaurants, and services closed as people paid tribute. Garg, who drowned in Singapore after a seizure, was draped in an Assamese gamosa and placed in a glass casket for a final farewell. Fans showered flowers, lit incense, and sang his songs. Zubeen Garg sang over 38,000 songs in 40 languages and became a cultural icon of Assam. The state government is considering setting up a memorial in his honour to mark his lasting legacy.
