Tara Mandir, widely known as the Nehru Planetarium, opened in 1977 as one of only two such planetariums initiated under Jawaharlal Nehru, funded by philanthropist Nanjibhai Mehta. A domed screen inside projects shows on stars, planets, and the solar system, with entrance panels also referencing Gandhi's Non-Cooperation Movement. The presentations run in Hindi, Gujarati, and English, drawing mostly families and student groups looking for an indoor break from Porbandar's coastal heat.
