Taking to social media platform X, formerly called Twitter, ISRO said, “Pragyan rover roams around Shiv Shakti Point in pursuit of lunar secrets at the South Pole!”

This comes hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the touchdown spot of the Vikram lander on the lunar surface would from now onwards be known as the ‘Shiv Shakti’ point. He also said August 23, when the Chandrayaan-3 mission became successful, will be now known as National Space Day.

India entered record books as the first country to successfully place a lander on the unexplored lunar South Pole on Wednesday evening.
