Chandrayaan-3: Naga Panchami is celebrated across the state today. A special pooja was also performed at Kukke Subrahmanya in Dakshina Kannada district to make Chandrayaan-3 a success. A special puja was performed on the eve of Nagapanchami at the famous Kukke Subramaniam temple in Dakshina Kannada district on Monday for the successful landing of ISRO’s Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon’s South Pole.

The temple administration conducted a special puja with milk consecration, praying for India to create history in the field of space research and make the country proud. Lord Subramaniam was bathed with milk during the worship. Earlier a few days ago, a special havan-pujan was performed in the Mahamrityunjaya temple of Kashi praying for the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram lander.

Carrying pictures of Chandrayaan-3 and tricolor in hand, people performed yagya havan and prayed for the success of the historical lunar mission. Indian spacecraft has reached closer to the Moon and is all set to soft-land on the lunar surface by August 23, Wednesday.

The ISRO said it successfully reduced the orbit of the Chandrayaan-3 mission’s Lander Module (LM) on Sunday. Launched on 14 July, the lander module of Chandrayaan-3 successfully separated from the Propulsion Module on Thursday, 35 days after the mission was launched. The mission objectives of Chandrayaan-3 are to demonstrate a safe and soft landing on the lunar surface, to demonstrate rover roving on the Moon, and to conduct in-situ scientific experiments.
