Fondly known as "Lavani Samradni," meaning "Queen of Lavani," Chavan died of age-related ailments, as per her family. Early this year, she was honored with the prestigious Padma Shri award for her immense contribution to the traditional musical genre of Maharashtra.

The last rites were held at the cremation ground in Marine Lines at around 3:00 pm.
