Legendary Indian singer Lata Mangeshkar has passed away at the age of 92 in a Mumbai hospital on Sunday.

She breathed her last at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital this morning.

The hospital authorities said she was in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the hospital. However, the condition of her health was good in the last few days. She was put on the ventilator on Saturday after her health deteriorated suddenly.

Arrangements are underway to take her body to Shivaji Park where it will be kept for public homage.

The 92-year-old singer has recorded songs in more than 1,000 Hindi films in several languages.

She is the recipient of three National Film Awards, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award and the Bharat Ratna, among other honors.
