Hiraben passed away during treatment at U N Mehta Heart Hospital. Her last rites were performed at a crematorium in Gandhinagar in the presence of PM Narendra Modi, his brothers, and other family members.
After her death, the Prime Minister tweeted that a great journey of 100 years has come to an end.
"I have witnessed three qualities in mother, a journey like that of a tapasvi (saint), a selfless worker and a life dedicated to values.
"When I met her on her 100th birthday she told me one thing which I always remember. 'Kam karo buddhi thi, jivan jivo suddhi thi' (work using your brain and live life with purity)," he tweeted.
मैं जब उनसे 100वें जन्मदिन पर मिला तो उन्होंने एक बात कही थी, जो हमेशा याद रहती है कि કામ કરો બુદ્ધિથી, જીવન જીવો શુદ્ધિથી यानि काम करो बुद्धि से और जीवन जियो शुद्धि से।
