The country is remembering Lata Mangeshkar on her 93rd birth anniversary today. Known as the Nightingale of India, she inspired millions to pursue singing as a career and curated the golden phase of music in Hindi cinema with her magic.
On her birth anniversary, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, announced that a chowk in Ayodhya has been named after Lata didi. In a tweet, PM Modi said, "Remembering Lata Didi on her birth anniversary. There is so much that I recall…the innumerable interactions in which she would shower so much affection. I am glad that today, a Chowk in Ayodhya will be named after her. It is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest Indian icons."
