In a heartfelt tribute to the late music icon Zubeen Garg, his wife Garima Saikia Garg planted a ‘nahor’ (Indian rose chestnut) sapling at the Barowari Durga Temple in Sonapur on Tuesday, October 28. The initiative, aimed at preserving Zubeen’s legacy, reflects his deep emotional bond with the Nahor tree—something he often described as a symbol of his soul and presence. Local residents, fans, and well-wishers joined Garima in the plantation drive, lending their support to the meaningful cause.
Garima announced that Sonapur, a place that held a special place in Zubeen’s heart, will soon become home to a long-term ecological project—a Nahor forest stretching from Sonapur to Topatoli along the National Highway. She said the plantation will continue in phases with the participation of local communities and nature enthusiasts. “Since Zubeen will always remain in Sonapur, a Nahor forest will rise here in his memory,” she said, calling it a living tribute to the beloved artist.
Speaking to the media, Garima also urged fans to watch Zubeen Garg’s last film, Roi Roi Binale, describing it as a reflection of his artistic passion and vision. “It is a beautiful film—Zubeen’s final work of love and creativity. I request everyone to watch it and keep his spirit alive,” she said.
