Lata Mangeshkar, one of India's most beloved singers who provided the soundtrack to hundreds of Bollywood films, has died aged 92.
Mangeshkar was admitted to a hospital in Mumbai in January after testing positive for Covid-19.
Her extraordinary career spanned more than half a century and she recorded thousands of songs in 36 languages.
She will receive a state funeral in Mumbai on Sunday and there will be two days of national mourning.
During this period, the national flag will be flown at half-mast throughout the country.
A the news broke, tributes began pouring in for Mangeshkar who was often called the "nightingale of Bollywood" for her role as a playback singer, recording the songs that actors would lip-sync on screen
President Ram Nath Kovind said the news was "heart-breaking for me, as it is for millions the world over" and added that in her songs "generations found expression of their innermost emotions".
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, meanwhile, said Mangeshkar's death had left a "void in our nation that cannot be filled".
Mangeshkar was a huge fan of cricket, and India's former captain Virat Kohli said her songs had "touched millions of people around the world".
Several Bollywood stars also expressed their condolences. Actor Hema Malini said she was "lucky" to have performed to several songs sung by Mangeshkar.
"No one can sing like her, she was very special. Her passing away is very saddening," she told the news agency ANI.
Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar passed away today at the age of 92. The veteran singer was admitted to a city hospital in early January this year after she tested positive for Covid-19 and was also diagnosed with pneumonia. Around January 28, she was taken off the ventilator, after she showed slight signs of improvement. However, on February 5, Lata Mangeshkar's condition deteriorated and she was back on ventilator support.

Thanks Ramaji. I was in Toronto already. My Dad was a big gun with the Maha Sabha Berbice. He wrote and let me know about the royal welcome that Lata received. Jai Hind.
Another favorite Bhajan.

One of my all time favorite rendition. This is a good example of Gamak and Murki for voice control. There are lot's of other technical stuff for music lovers.
