- This telescope is unique as it uses a reflective liquid, commonly mercury, to form a parabolic surface for observations.

- The site of the telescope is the Devasthal Observatory of the Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES).

- The location offers a clear night sky and optimal conditions for astronomical studies.

- Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh do not currently host this specific type of telescope.
