Days After Chandrayaan-3 Success, ISRO Chief's Temple Trip

Mr Somanath was seen offering prayers at the temple, as the country celebrated the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission.

Four days after the historic soft landing of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft on the Moon's south pole, ISRO chief S Somanath was seen at the Pournamikavu-Bhadrakali Temple in Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram today. 

Mr Somanath was seen offering prayers at the temple, as the country celebrated the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission.

On Wednesday, history was scripted when Chandrayaan-3's lander Vikram touched down on the lunar surface, making India only the fourth country to achieve that feat, and the first to land on the uncharted south pole of Earth's nearest celestial neighbour.
