Udalguri: A Class 11 student from Assam has created a unique portrait of legendary Assamese singer Zubeen Garg using the lyrics of nearly 1,000 songs performed by the music icon.

The artwork was created by Hrishikesh Saikia, a resident of Tangla in Assam’s Udalguri district. The young artist said the portrait is a tribute to Zubeen Garg, whose music has inspired generations of listeners across the state and beyond.

Instead of conventional sketching techniques, Hrishikesh meticulously used the lyrics of almost 1,000 songs sung by Zubeen Garg to form the singer’s likeness, blending typography with portrait art. The intricate work reflects both his artistic talent and deep admiration for the celebrated musician.

The portrait has drawn praise for its originality, attention to detail, and emotional appeal. Many have appreciated the effort as a fitting tribute to the singer, who is fondly known as “Pranor Xilpi” by his fans.

The artwork stands as a testament to the enduring influence of Zubeen Garg’s music and the creative ways in which young admirers continue to celebrate his legacy.
