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

Nearly 150 girl students 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 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.
