The long-awaited Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Temple in Ayodhya finally took place today (January 22). People across the world witnessed the historic moment of temple inauguration and devotees were drenched in the blissful moment. While several politicians and celebrities witnessed the grand consecration ceremony, a special musical show was organised as a part of the event.
Eminent singers like Sonu Nigam, Anuradha Paudwal, and Shankar Mahadevan turned the atmosphere blissful with their melodious bhajans. On the other hand, there is a tremendous increase in access to Ram Bhajans on YouTube.
However, one voice was certainly missed amid the grand celebration and it was the voice of India’s Nightingale Lata Mangeshkar.
Late singer Lata Mangeshkar had a huge impact on the Indian music industry and her demise left a void in the hearts of her admirers. While music lovers must have craved to hear her soulful voice on this grand occasion, the artificial intelligence-generated voice of the late singer has made everyone emotional.
Recently, a user shared an audio clip on X (formerly X) in which the song ‘Ram Aayenge’ was being sung and was pitched as Lata Mangeshkar’s.
As claimed by the user, it was created using AI tools. His caption for the post read: The most appropriate use of AI so far.” (sic)
The clip also shows an old clip of Lata Mangeshkar’s stage performance.
Meanwhile, the audio clip has gone viral on social media and made many music lovers emotional.
One user wrote,” I have no clue why this brought tears to my eyes... Lata ji” (sic)

Another user wrote, “Awesome !!! The song gave me goosebumps Jay Siya Ram” (sic)
“Damn!! My eyes are full of tears and my mind is in complete peace after listening to this song in Lata Ji's voice. Thanks for sharing and thanks to the person who made this. Lata ji aapki aawaz hamesha amar rahegi,” wrote a third user. (sic)
Undoubtedly, the musical show without the legendary singer's voice remains incomplete. Though the AI-generated clip is in her voice, it lacks the soul, feel, and emotions that she would have lent to the song. However, the effort was showered with praise.
