Pooja Hirwade, a Kuchipudi and Bharatanatyam dancer, gave a Bharatanatyam performance on Wednesday to the tune of “Namo Namo Bharatambe” and the Chandrayaan Anthem.

Chandrayaan-3 is scheduled to arrive on the moon’s unexplored south pole today, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

Sharing her excitement Pooja Hirwade told ANI, “India’s Chandrayaan-3 is all set to land on the moon today. So, to make this moment memorable, I performed Bharatnatyam on Chandrayaan Anthem. This is a proud and historic moment for the entire India. We would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to all the scientists whose hard work made this possible today.”

Notably, all the citizens are praying and pouring wishes from across the world ahead of the attempted moon landing.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is in South Africa to attend the 15th BRICS Summit, will virtually witness the historic landing attempt on the lunar surface as part of the country’s third lunar mission: Chandrayaan-3.
