The New Zealand Indian Central Association, its branches and associate members are organising the celebration of 150th birth anniversary of India’s great creative genius, Nobel Laureate, poet, novelist, musician, painter Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore.
An event has been planned for Saturday May 7, at Auckland’s Mahatma Gandhi Centre.
