    Now, this is Meghnad Saha Planetarium...a seemingly new Crowning Glory of Bardhaman University...a place where the young minds get acquainted with the mighty Universe...where the lolly jolly kids get their first true experience of human evolution, birth of our planet Earth and solar system. The place is prominent...just opposite of Bardhaman University Golapbagh Campus, the outer area is vast and well maintained...the planetarium itself is dome shaped and modern...the display unit is top-notch. But the main planetarium is small... seating capacity is less and the shows are a little bit monotonous...no, this is no Birla Taramandal, Kolkata....but, I must say, a little bit of Midas- rays here and there, and the Sky is the Limit.

    It is one of the best planetarium in eastern India. The seating capacity is lesser than the planetarium of Kolkata. But technically it is updated. The whole area is very nice I loved it more than old Birla Planetarium. A must visit place in Bardhaman. Located just at a walking distance from the rajbari and well connected by bus and trains with Howrah (Kolkata). The authorities must promote it more. I just loved the experience here. The Planetarium hosted, along with astronomical curios, ultra-modern precision sensors, micro-processors and optical equipment used in the most advanced industrial and research sectors in the world. I was really amazed to see all this.

    The place is spacious from outside. Like the park area and entrance area is huge and greatly maintained. I am a resident of Kolkata and do visit Birla Planatorium quite often. In comparison to that this planatorium is small in term of its show and show projected areas. Else the staffs are well behaved and friendly.

    On my visit to Burdwan, at one of my relatives house, I visited this place. It had winter shows starting from afternoon till 5pm. I was in the 3 pm show which lasted till 3:40 pm. It was about planets in the solar system and existence of life beyond earth. It was a good experience. I enjoyed it. The hall room in which the show was played was kind of round shaped and we had to look up for vision. Was a cheerful experience overall.

    Infrastructure is good, the show starts at 12,pm, but at least 8 persons are required for the show to start. Most shows are abandoned to less then 8 viewers.

  • 4/5 TANIMA A. 3 years ago on Google
    It's great... Absolutely good for kids and adults too... It gives a clear knowledge about planets, stars, space, spaceship.... Outside of the planetarium is also beautiful.... The garden is so pleasing... When we went to Burdwan, we reached this planetarium about 1 hour ago, because we didn't know the time schedule about the starting time of the show... So we spent this time sitting in the gatden... It's nice... This place is approximately 2.3 km (30-min walking distance) from the Bardhaman Junction.

    The planeterium is overall good with a well maintained exterior. The show inside was truly interesting and quite informative. The show, at the beginning, has only special effects, and later, the main show was about space science and discoveries and information given by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) by NASA. The effects on the dome was really good and exciting...Recommended for those who have interest in space science and have aspirations in the future for space science-related professions....😃😃👍🏻👍🏻

    Show is good. But they are running in Bengali version. Disappointing. After requesting, they deny. Most of scientific terms were typically translated in Bengali for which maximum number of students from English medium schools are unable to understand.

  • 5/5 LEGEND 3 years ago on Google
    Nice Environment.. If you Feel stress and irritation then obviously you should go the planetarium and sit on the chair in the Garden. In My opinion Definitely you Feel better.And don't miss the planetarium Show. It's also be good.The Visual Effects are outstanding. This is not only increase your knowledge But also increase you IQ power. The shows details is like how Human transform, And How the Earth Transforms from the dust particles to the modern earth, Many other thinks remember it's my view what I watch. I think It should be change because I watch the show around 4 to 5 years before.may be Add some new interesting thing or whatever interesting facts. Whatever add I conform that it might be great.One more last think you should go there and feel the environment and don't miss the show buddy... Bye bye
