Lonely Planet review for Birla Planetarium

Loosely styled on the Buddhist stupa located at Sarnath, the Birla Planetarium is one of the world’s largest. Its exterior looks impressive when floodlit. Inside, its outer circle forms a small but well-presented, tomb-like gallery featuring astronomer busts and fading star-gazer pictures. The star shows are slow moving, thickly accented introductions to the night sky.
