In a deeply personal act of homage, Rubul Saikia, a youth from Makum and Assistant Secretary of AASU’s Tinsukia District Unit, has permanently tattooed the lyrics of the iconic song “Mayabini” by late singer Zubeen Garg on his body.

Saikia said that growing up, Garg’s music was ever-present. Following Garg’s untimely passing, the tattoo serves as a way for him to carry the legend’s legacy forward. “Zubeen Garg’s music shaped my life and inspired millions across Assam. This tattoo is my way of carrying his legacy with me forever,” he told local media.

The gesture comes at a time when tributes are flowing in from across the state. Fans are lighting candles, sharing memories, and gathering in public to express their sorrow and appreciation for Garg’s contributions to music. For many, Garg was more than a singer a cultural icon who gave voice to Assamese identity and emotion.

“Mayabini,” one of Garg’s most beloved songs, holds special meaning for his fans. The song’s lyrical beauty and melody often serve as comfort during difficult times. Saikia’s choice to tattoo part of it shows how deeply music can resonate beyond sound, beyond time.
Officials and local community leaders have taken note. While many tributes are symbolic and temporary, this permanent mark has stirred heartfelt responses. Some see it as evidence of Garg’s impact on younger generations, who find in his songs something that transcends ordinary admiration.

Assam’s mourning over Zubeen Garg’s death continues through artistic expressions like this one. As public memorials are planned and gatherings held, personal tributes like tattoos remind everyone of how music can form emotional bonds that last a lifetime. In this way, Saikia’s tribute is more than ink it is a living memory.
