| Located within the premises of Teen Murti House
on Teen Murti Road, Nehru Planetarium was established on 6th
February 1984 with the aim to promote space education and astronomy
among the common people especially the youth of the region.
The planetarium has a good sky theatre with the capacity of
seating 270 viewers at a time for screening taped and live public
shows on various cosmic topics like informing about the cosmic
heritage, the solar system or history of a particular star.

| Just at the entrance lies the exhibit area of
the planetarium displaying interesting interactive models and
pictures. The piece de resistance of the planetarium
is the space module of Soyuz T-10 that carried India's first
cosmonaut, Rakesh Sharma to space along with his space suit
and mission journal. From time to time, the planetarium also
displays event-based photo exhibitions here. |
| On request, the planetarium organizes curriculum-based
shows and interactive question-answer session for school and
college students. It also comes out with an astronomy magazine
Krittika to provide information on different astronomical concepts.
There is also a souvenir shop from where visitors can get informative
compact discs. |
