Opened in 1994 to the public, this is one of the most versatile planetariums in the country. The main GM-11 star field projector here can project almost all the constituents of the visible universe.
The Priyadarshini Planetarium opens you up to a world of science and the mysteries of the universe like never before. The auditorium is equipped with an advanced GM-11 starfield projector that, believe it or not, can simulate the star-studded sky from any location on the entire planet, of any given time and on any day 12500 years in the past or 12500 years into the future! This planetarium has given many a chance to experience the wonders of Virtual Reality without being constricted to a device. The Priyadarshini Planetarium hosts show in Malayalam and English where the people are introduced to the magical world of outer space.
The planetarium will be closed on Mondays.
