Could we request you to bring this to the attention of those who may be interested? Thank you very much. Have tagged my friends and colleagues from IUCAA TLC and NCRA who are organizing it, as well as those in other institutions to spread the word.

Huge loss to the astronomy community. RIP Prof Swarup.
