Meet the universe and reach out to starts, moon, sun, planets and constellations at Nehru planetarium.  It is one of the perfect places for all age group people who want to spend some time away from the hustle-bustle of the city.  

​

The Nehru Planetarium in New Delhi is situated in the green surroundings of the Teen Murti House, earlier the official residence of India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru and now a museum in his memory. 

​

The Planetarium has been constantly improvising and innovating programmes for its visitors. The strength of the planetarium lies in its live interactions and programs for visitors, students and amateur astronomers. The Planetarium is always active with programs for school and college students and for amateur astronomers. Through out the year, there are a number of workshops or observing activities. There are also Astronomy Quiz and Art competitions in the months of February and August.

The planetarium infrastructure and projection equipment has very recently been upgraded with the upgradation process being undertaken as a turn key project by the National Council of Science Museums, Kolkata.
