Ratan Tata’s demise has left an indelible void across India, with tributes pouring in from all corners of the country. People have taken to social media to express their admiration and grief for the veteran industrialist whose contributions spanned decades. His death coincided with the ongoing Navratri festivities, and in a poignant gesture, revelers in Mumbai paused their celebrations to pay tribute to him.
During a garba night at the Nesco compound in Goregaon, known for hosting one of the city’s biggest Navratri events, attendees paused the festivities to honour Tata. A video shared by a user named Sunny On X captured the moment where participants observed a minute of silence while the song “Vida Karo” played in the background. “Nesco compound in Goregaon organises the biggest Garba event every year but yesterday they stopped midway to pay tribute to the legend Ratan Tata sir,” he wrote.
Another video showed a similar scene where participants lit up the night with their smartphone flashlights as a symbolic tribute. “We sincerely hope his soul rests in peace, especially on such a pious day,” a post along with the video read.
Tributes continued to pour in on social media. “Ratan Tata’s vision and commitment to India’s development will always be remembered. Om Shanti,” one user commented while another described him as “a great son of India”.
Ratan Tata died at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital on October 9 at 11.30 pm after a prolonged illness. His body, wrapped in the Indian national flag, was kept at the NCPA for public homage. During the funeral, religious leaders from various faiths gathered to pay tribute and he was cremated with full state honours at the Parsi crematorium in Worli.
