Puri: On the first anniversary of Lata Mangeshkar's death, artist Sudarsan Pattnaik created a 6ft high sand sculpture with the message 'Tribute to Bharat Ratna Lata Ji, Meri Awaaaz Hi Pehchan Hai' on Puri beach in Odisha on Monday.
Lata performed over 30,000 songs in at least 36 languages. Among them are the all-time classics of Odia cinema, such as Suryamukhi's 'Sei Chuna Chuna Tara Phula Aaji' (1963) and Arundhati Roy's 'Aaji Mun Shrabani Luhara Harini Jeun Rajani' (1967).
In 1963 and 1967, both films won the National award for best Odia feature film.
Legendary Odia music director Shantanu Mohapatra wrote both songs.
A Twitter user posted a photo of Lata Mangeshkar during the recording of the song 'Sei Chuna Chuna Tara Phula Aaji' at her Mumbai home. The photograph also includes lyricist Gurukrushna Goswami, Lata Mangeshkar, her brother Hridaynath Mangeshkar, music director Shantanu Mohapatra, and Jatin Das.
