India made history by being the first nation to set foot on the South Pole of the lunar surface. Indians and space scientists received praise for their accomplishment from PM Modi. India will never forget this day, according to PM Modi. 

The Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft accomplished a soft landing on the surface of the Moon on Wednesday evening, solidifying India's position as a major player in space. This event was orchestrated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). With the mission's success, India has become the fourth nation to land a spacecraft on the Moon overall and the first to do it on the lunar south pole. The rolling out of the Pragyan rover, which began gradually once the dust on the Moon's surface settled, was the next significant maneuver, according to the space agency.

At 6:04 PM (IST), the Vikram lander of the spacecraft successfully completed a soft touchdown, putting an end to the Chandrayaan-2 lander's four-year-old crash-landing incident.

The mission's three goals, according to ISRO, are to show a soft and safe lunar surface landing, lunar rover wandering, and to carry out in-situ scientific research. While the Indian space program is praised for getting so much done with such a small budget, C Raja Mohan contends that India will no longer be able to influence international action on the Moon by thrifty innovation. In this essay about the heavenly body, writer Devdutt Pattanaik, who is renowned for storifying myths, recounts some of the myths, tales, and legends that are a part of our cultural truth, our Indianness.
