The Indira Gandhi Planetarium (ISO: Indirā Gāndhī Tārāmaṇḍal), also known as the Patna Planetarium (ISO: Paṭnā Tārāmaṇḍal), is located in Patna's Indira Gandhi Science Complex. The planetarium was constructed through Bihar Council on Science & Technology at a total cost of about ₹110 million (equivalent to ₹950 million or US$13 million in 2019).[2] It was conceptualised in 1989 by Bihar Chief Minister Shri Satyendra Narain Sinha with construction[3] commencing in the same year, and opened for the public from 1 April 1993.[2] It is named after senior Indian National Congress leader and former Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi.
The Indira Gandhi Planetarium is one of the largest planetariums in Asia. It attracts many domestic as well as foreign tourists. The planetarium has regular film shows on subjects related to astronomy. It also holds exhibitions, which attract many visitors.[4][better source needed]
The planetarium uses traditional opto-mechanical projection of celluloid film.[5]
Criticism[edit | edit source]
In contrast to more modern digital projectors, the opto-mechanical system uses films that are difficult to change. As a consequence, the same film may be shown for years.[5]
Competition[edit | edit source]
The first digital planetarium of Bihar was planned to open in late 2016 at the premises of Shrikrishna Science Centre near Gandhi Maidan in Patna.[5] The planetarium has been developed at a cost of ₹50 million (equivalent to ₹58 million or US$810,000 in 2019) and is equipped with a Carl Zeiss digital projector system.[6]
