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.
