Assam Holds Three-Day Memorial for Zubeen Garg’s First Death Anniversary
Assam has begun a three-day memorial at Zubeen Kshetra in Sonapur to mark the first death anniversary of cultural icon Zubeen Garg. The event, supported by the Assam government, includes multi-faith prayers, naam recitals, musical performances, Bhagawat recitations, and traditional cultural programmes from September 17 to 19. Thousands of fans are expected to attend. Garg died in September 2025 in Singapore under circumstances ruled accidental drowning, though a local investigation has charged four individuals with murder.
