The mortal remains of Bharat Ratna Pandit Bhimsen Joshi were consigned to flames this evening with state honours in the presence of tearful mourners.

Buglars played the last post as ceremonial gun salute was accorded to the titan of the Indian music world as notes of 'Mile sur mera tumhara...' floated in the air.

The mourners -- men and women, young and old -- lined up the streets to pay their last respects to the maestro as his last journey began from his residence and terminated at Vaikunth crematorium.

Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan and external affairs minister SM Krishna, emissary of the prime minister, led the mourners in paying tributes to the departed musician.

I am happy and surprised that you are the only one on CD who cares about Pt.Bhimsen Joshi. Looks like all the other CD's will only respond if a Bollywood or Cricket celebrity makes headline.

No doubt India will miss Pandit Bhimsen Joshi , but Puneites will definately miss him more specially his presence in the Sawai Gandharwa Festival in December.

Indeed its a great loss to the nation. TV channels are showing excerpts from his concerts. I have collection of his songs in old audio tapes. He is indeed a Bharat Ratna (thank god he got it when he was alive). None can replace him.
