Lata Mangeshkar’s final farewell took place at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park on the evening of 6 February 2022, the day she died aged 92. Her brother Hridaynath Mangeshkar performed the last rites. The Government of India accorded her a state funeral and separately declared two days of national mourning.
Photos from the farewell at Shivaji Park
The Press Information Bureau’s account places the ceremony at Shivaji Park, Mumbai, on the evening of 6 February 2022. It records that Hridaynath Mangeshkar performed the last rites and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi travelled from Delhi to pay his respects. The government’s ceremony report also names Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, Governor Bhagat Singh Koshiyari, Union Minister Piyush Goyal, Sharad Pawar, Sachin Tendulkar, Shankar Mahadevan and Shah Rukh Khan among those present.
Contemporary reporting by The Indian Express described thousands of Mumbai residents gathering at Shivaji Park. It reported that the cremation took place at 7:14 p.m.; that time comes from the newspaper’s account, rather than the official government release.
What “full state honours” meant in this case
The Government of India announced on 6 February that Mangeshkar would receive a state funeral. The Press Information Bureau described her mortal remains as laid to rest in Mumbai with full state honours. The available official accounts establish the state-funeral decision and the ceremony’s location and participants; they do not set out a detailed list of ceremonial or military protocols.

Two days of national mourning
The state funeral was distinct from the national mourning measures. The government declared mourning throughout India on 6 and 7 February 2022. During those two days, the national flag was to fly at half-mast across the country, and there was to be no official entertainment. The measures were announced by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
