Zubeen Garg, invited as the chief guest on the event's final day, was honoured with the prestigious 'Sangeet Sindhu' title by the Satradhikar of Garamur Satra.
However, during his acceptance speech, Garg made remarks that ignited controversy.
He voiced his disapproval of addressing Satradhikars as divine entities, stating, "Common people refer to the satradhikars as Lord. It is not acceptable at all. Krishna was never God... he was a man."

The video has become viral on social media garnering views and opinions from many.
In response to the backlash, the artist acknowledged his error and issued an apology.
