Nehru Planetarium :
Right next to Mahalaxmi Race Course, the Nehru Planetarium
is a large domed building, popular with the city's amateur
astronomers. Inside, various cubicles estimate your
weight on each of the nine planets of the Solar System
while in the domed interior, daily shows uncover the
timeless mysteries of the cosmos. The place is usually
packed with school children so make sure you buy your
ticket in advance. Adjacent to the planetarium is the
Nehru Centre, venue of numerous international trade
fairs and local exhibitions. In the basement, the Nehru
Auditorium usually boasts classical music and dance
recitals, concerts and plays.
