Guwahati, October 19: Contrary to recent media claims, ‘Maya’, the dog known for her constant vigil at Zubeen Garg’s samadhi in Zubeen Kshetra, is alive and well. The reports of her death circulated in some outlets were incorrect.
Maya, lovingly named by Zubeen’s wife Garima Saikia Garg, has long been a familiar presence at the memorial, symbolizing quiet loyalty and devotion. A video shared by those caring for her confirms that Maya continues to be healthy and is receiving proper attention from a local resident.
The earlier false reports had caused distress among fans who have been visiting Zubeen Kshetra during the ongoing month-long memorial period. Garima Garg has often shared her fondness for Maya on social media, highlighting the deep bond between the family, the singer’s admirers, and the loyal dog.
Authorities and local caretakers have urged media outlets and the public to verify sensitive news before sharing, emphasizing the importance of preventing unnecessary confusion and emotional distress among fans.
Maya remains a living reminder of Zubeen Garg’s enduring legacy and the affection his family and supporters hold for all aspects of his life.
