Mortal remains of Indian classical vocalist Pandit Jasraj, who passed away on Monday following a cardiac arrest at his home in New Jersey, would be brought to Mumbai on Wednesday, his family said in a statement.
The 90-year-old music doyen was in the US when the coronavirus-led lockdown was announced and decided to stay back in the country.
According to Pritam Sharma, media coordinator for the family, Pandit Jasraj’s ‘antim darshan’ will be held on Thursday at his Versova residence, followed by the last rites which will take place at Pawan Hans Crematorium, Vile Parle. He will be cremated with state honours and be given a 21-gun salute, Sharma added. (PTI)
