About Birla Planetarium

The Birla Planetarium is India's largest planetarium, with the largest night sky display in the dome theatre. The construction has only one storey and is designed to seem like a Buddhist Stupa. It was built in 1963 and is presently used as a museum. The planetarium was inaugurated by Sri Jawaharlal Nehru, India's then-Prime Minister. The Birla Planetarium is one of the largest planetariums on the Asian continent.

Kolkata's landmark, the Birla Planetarium, is located next to St. Paul's Cathedral and near Victoria Memorial. The best thing about this website is that it is updated on a regular basis to stay up with new technologies.
