Nehru
Planetarium and Bharat Mandir
Across
the muddy creek, which is spanned by the jynbeeli (once Jubilee) Bridge
are the Nehru Planetarium and the Bharat Mandir. Flocks of flamingoes
are unexpected sight along the creek. Men and women enter the
planetarium from the veranda by separate doors whose panels celebrate
Indian nonalignment, showing Shastri with Kosygin on one side and Nehru
with JFK on the other! The planetarium has afternoon sessions in
Gujarati.
