The most emotionally charged moment of the evening came when singer Bhrigu Kashyap took to the stage to perform songs in memory of the late Zubeen Garg.
The audience responded with spontaneous dancing, and the venue reverberated with chants of "Joi Zubeen Da" — a moment that captured both the grief and the enduring love the region holds for the iconic singer.
