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.
