Kms Of India - Replica of Chandrayaan to be carried from Kolkata to Tarakeswar for Sravan Festival 2023-08


These are not students of any of the famous engineering colleges but are humble kids who live in the slums around Panditiya Road (as you can make out from the images in the background) in Kolkata 700029 and yet, so enamoured are they of India's space program that they have painstakingly built this replica of Chandrayaan and will be carrying this to the famous Shiv Temple at Tarakeshwar (for the annual Sravan festival) to have it blessed by Bhagwan Shiv and ensure its safe and successful descent on the Lunar surface. I am sure that the Lord who carries the Moon in the matted locks of his hair will listen to their prayers (and mine too!) and allow Chandrayaan to make a safe, soft landing on the Moon. 
JaiHind, Jai ISRO.
