To commemorate the 147th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore, the organisers of IPL match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Bangalore Royal Challengers have decided to host a brief cultural programme of Tagore songs and dance at the Eden Gardens venue. Rabindra Sangeet` exponent Indranil Sen will regale the spectators with a song, while actress and danseuse Mamata Shankar and her ballet troupe will present a song-dance programme, the organisers said tonight. The organisers had earlier planned an entertainment show featuring film star and Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan but decided against it since holding any film music-based show might not gel with the spirit of Tagore`s birth anniversary date. West Bengal sports minister Subhas Chakraborty had also expressed his reservation about holding a `Mumbai-type entertainment show` on Tagore`s birth anniversary in Kolkata itself.
