UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took a decision to name the chowk in Ayodhya after the Bharat Ratna honoree. Days after Lata Mangeshkar passed away on February 6 due to multiple organ failure, Yogi Adityanath made an announcement about naming the chowk after Lata Mangeshkar. A 40-feet-long and 12-metre-high veena sculpture weighing 14 tonnes has been installed at the intersection in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. Padma Shri awardee Ram Sutar has made the giant sculpture.
Born on September 28, 1929, Lata Mangeshkar began her career in 1942 at the age of 13. In a career spanning seven decades, the melody queen recorded songs for over a thousand Hindi films. She recorded her songs in over 36 regional Indian and foreign languages. She is known as the ‘Queen of Melody’ and ‘India’s Nightingale’.
