Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray is at the funeral. Consoling Pankaja, Uddhav lays a wreath at Munde's glass-encased coffin. 

It is a sweltering 45 C in Beed now, but Gopinath Munde's supporters multiplying by the minute.

Now, Goa CM Manohar Parrikar pays his respects. Rajiv Pratap Rudy, who has been in Pali since early this morning, points him to Pankaja.
