Tara Mandir

The Tara Mandir, in Porbandar belies its name as it not a temple at all but a planetarium, built solely by the donation of Shri Nanjibhai. ‘Tara’ is actually Gujarati for stars. What lends further regard to the place is that it is one of the maiden two planetariums in India to be started by the First Prime Minister of India Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Housed within the Mandir is an overhead round screen, adeptly projected on which are detailed renditions of the moon, stars and other heavenly bodies.

There are no particular timings for visiting the planetarium.
