Indira Gandhi Planetarium, Space science center in Patna Rural, India
The Indira Gandhi Planetarium features a dome-shaped auditorium with 276 seats and displays astronomical phenomena on its massive spherical screen.
The planetarium, inaugurated in 1993, required an investment of 110 million rupees and was initiated by Bihar Chief Minister Satyendra Narain Sinha in 1989.
The facility serves as an educational hub where students and families gather to learn about celestial events through regular shows and interactive exhibitions.
The planetarium screens space science films four times daily at 12:30, 2:00, 3:30, and 5:00 PM, with tickets costing 50 rupees per person.
In 2021, the planetarium underwent modernization with new projection systems and received a high-capacity optical telescope for enhanced astronomical observations.
