With heavy hearts, millions of Indians will today bid adieu to the former Prime Minister of the country Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who took his last breath on Thursday at the age of 93. Funeral of the charismatic leader will be held at Smriti Sthal in the national capital Delhi in the evening.

A profound grief has taken over the country which is observing a seven-day mourning for the popular leader, who was immensely admired for his poetic and oratory skills.
