People in several parts of Delhi on Wednesday held special prayers at temples, mosques, and gurudwaras for the successful landing of the Chandrayaan-3 lander module on the Moon.

Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, along with others, joined a special “Ardas” held at Bangla Sahib Gurudwara to pray for the success of the mission.

Nearly 150 girls of Al Jamiatul Islamia Islahul Banat madrassa at Mandoli were also part of a special prayer held there hours before the scheduled landing of the Chandrayaan lander.

The Vishu Hndu Parishad (VHP) organised a yajna at Sant Nagar Burari, praying for the success of India’s ambitious space project.

“We have unwavering faith that God will definitely listen to our collective prayer done with pure mind and special mantras of Vedas,” said Vimlesh Bansal, a Vedic scholar at Arya Samaj temple.

Delhi government school children also joined the nation in praying for the successful landing of the Chandrayaan lander by making special posters. (PTI)
