Priyadarshini Planetarium
Bedste tid at besøge
Weekday mornings are the quietest, but since the hall is dark and cool, it works just as well all year round. All shows are indoors too, so neither rain nor heat matters.
Budgettips
The show usually costs less than a hundred rupees and students often get a discount, so a whole family does not have to break the travel budget. Check the show times in advance, the shows only run a few times a day.
Anbefalet til
Families with children, People curious about space and science, Groups who want some cool air on a hot afternoon

One hour for the show itself, more if you stay at the museum next door
Om
Hurtige fakta: Kuplersalen er atten meter i diameter og rummer 180 besøgende, der ligger tilbagelænet under et loft fyldt med stjerner. Premieren fandt sted i 1994 som en af landets første digitaliserede anlæg, og forestillingerne holdes stadig i dag på både malayalam og engelsk.
Højdepunkter: Mørket, det svage stjernelys og surroundlyden får kuppelen til at føles som en tidsmaskine, når projektoren drejer himlen flere tusind år tilbage. Zoommen kan gå fra hele Mælkevejens sløjfe helt ned til en enkelt måne, noget der er usædvanligt selv blandt de store planetarier.
Insidertips
- Sit in the middle of the hall for the best sense of depth, along the edges the stars become distorted.
- Check the schedule in advance, there are only a few shows per day and the hall is closed in between.
- Combine your ticket with the science museum next door for the same price and twice as much to explore.
- Keep your camera in your bag during the show, photography often disturbs both the staff and the projection.
