A large number of people gathered around the cremation site, including those on the hills surrounding the place, and slogans like `Long Live Zubeen`, `Jai Zubeen da` reverberated in the area. People were seen singing a song `Mayabini Ratir buku`, which Garg had said many times that this should be sung at his funeral

Glimpses from Zubeen Garg`s funeral
Singer Zubeen Garg`s body was consigned to flames, amid chanting of Vedic hymns in the sylvan surroundings of Kamarkuchi on the outskirts of Assam`s Guwahati. His final journey to the cremation ground had begun from the Arjun Bhogeswar Baruah Sports Complex in Guwahati, where his body was brought after the second post-mortem examination at the Gauhati Medical College Hospital.
His sister Palme Borthakur and music composer Rahul Gautam, a protégé of the singer, lit the pyre, amid gun salutes. They went around the pyre seven times as priests guided them, and all present at the site stood up. Zubeen`s wife, Garima Saikia Garg, was sitting on the side of the platform where his last rites were performed and was seen sobbing all through the rituals. She even brought their dogs to the funeral for Zubeen`s one last glimpse.
