The Celestial Saturn of Surajkund: Indira Gandhi Planetarium

Perched on the banks of the historic Surajkund reservoir near Chowk, the Indira Gandhi Planetarium is an architectural showpiece. Its striking orange-domed structure mimics Saturn encircled by giant metallic rings, hosting immersive digital fulldome astronomy shows that project constellations and cosmic nebulae onto a 360-degree overhead vault.
