#Chandrayaan3Landing #vikramlander #chandrayaan3 Prayers Across India For Chandrayaan-3 Success: Scheduled for today at 6:04 PM, the LM, housing the lander (Vikram) and the rover (Pragyan), is poised to achieve a historic feat by gently descending onto the Moon's south polar region. Should this endeavour succeed, India will join an exclusive group of nations - comprising the United States, China, and the former Soviet Union - that have mastered the intricate technology of soft-landing on the lunar surface.
As the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) prepares to make an audacious attempt at a soft landing on the unexplored south pole of the Moon with its ambitious Chandrayaan-3 mission, people across India are joining in prayers, religious offerings and various rituals for its success. The country's hopes are pinned on ISRO's latest endeavour, marking the third Moon mission. According to Nilesh M Desai, Director of Space Applications Centre (SAC/ISRO), Ahmedabad, "Chandrayaan-3 will start its descent from the height of 30km with a speed of 1.68 km per second. By the time it reaches the Moon’s surface on touchdown, the speed will almost be reduced to 0.”
Religious ceremonies spanning various faiths are being conducted across India to seek blessings for the success of Chandrayaan-3's groundbreaking mission. In Agra and Varanasi, locals are performing traditional havan rituals to ensure the safe touchdown of the mission's Lander Module (LM) on the Moon's south pole. Similarly, in Lucknow, Muslims are offering namaz at the Islamic Centre of India, earnestly praying for the mission's triumphant outcome.
In a similar vein, Anand Dubey, a leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT) party, organized a 'havan' at the Chandramauleshwar Shiv Mandir in Mumbai, invoking blessings for the prosperous landing of Chandrayaan-3.
