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 an expected 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.

The large Bharat Mandir hall is in a charming garden opposite the planetarium. On the floor inside is a huge relief map of India and the building's pillars are brilliantly painted with bas-reliefs of more than 100 religious figures and legendary persons from Hindu epics.
