Tributes pour in for legendary sarangi player Pt Ram Narayan

This was pointed out at the Shivaji Park crematorium by vocalist Chhaya Ganguly, where she was present along with family and friends for the last rites of her guru, who was given a state funeral.

The maestro, who popularised and made the sarangi internationally well known as a solo instrument, passed away close to midnight on Friday at his Bandra residence due to age-related illnesses, surrounded by his family and students.
