Lata Mangeshkar (Sur Kokila)

A living legend, the melody queen of India Lata ji's songs have captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of her admirers around the world. I do not have words to express the depth and scope of Lata Mangeshkar's genius. Blessed with a mellifluous voice, she is the most well known Indian vocalist. She is also known as "The Nightingale of Bollwood". She is recipient of many awards and honors both within the country and abroad, "Bharat Ratna" India's highest civilian honor is the one among them. I would like to share my experience while sketching her. All the time i was feeling that i am skecthing the Goddess of music. It would not be a wonder to call her as reincarnation of "Maa Saraswati" and people say also "ye to sakshat maa saraswati hein, inke kunth mein to Veena Vadini Maa Saraswati ka vaas hai".

Your comments are most welcome on her sketch!
