The article details the state funeral and cremation of former Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who passed away at the age of 93. His cremation took place at the Rashtriya Smriti Sthal in New Delhi, attended by a large crowd including current Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Ram Nath Kovind, and other dignitaries. Vajpayee, a significant figure in Indian politics known for his oratory skills and leadership during the Kargil War, was honored with a 21-gun salute and full state honors. His death led to a national mourning period, with many paying their respects by chanting slogans and throwing flower petals. The ceremony was marked by a poignant moment when Modi, visibly emotional, paid his last respects, reflecting the deep impact Vajpayee had on Indian politics and society.
