In an extraordinary outpouring of love and grief, four artists transformed the newly built flyover at Jhanji bridge in Jorhat, Assam into a canvas of remembrance for the state’s music icon, Zubeen Garg. Working through the night with their own resources and support from well-wishers, the artists painted several giant portraits of the late icon, leaving the walls of National Highway 37 adorned with his immortal presence.

The heartfelt tribute, carried out until dawn, reflected not only their artistry but also the deep anguish felt by an entire state mourning the singer’s untimely demise. One of the portraits bore a moving inscription: “You are not anyone else, you are a song washed in my blood; my courtyard is empty, my room is empty, my chest torn open in grief.”
