À propos
Faits rapides: The planetarium's dome spans 20 meters across, one of the largest in eastern India, and seats 250 people under its starry canopy. Live shows here blend ancient Indian astronomy with modern visualizations, a nod to the 5th century astronomer Pathani Samanta whose name it carries.
Points forts: Unlike most planetariums that show generic night skies, this one projects the exact stars visible over Bhubaneswar in real time, synced to the city's latitude and current season. You can watch the moon's craters and Jupiter's bands through a powerful Celestron telescope positioned right outside the dome after select shows.
