Moon ji,

Our #spacecraft #chandrayaan3 has a successful lift-off.
It is in orbit. Our #spacemisson is on track
It will reach you on Aug. 23

The #rocket is a LVM3 M4 vehicle & not 'Rahu' which our ancient #IndianMythology sent to 'devour' you when he was starved!

He can be seen here, in this c1720 AD #Pahari #IndianMiniaturePainting from #Nurpur or #Guler #Punjab hills #HimachalPradesh & now at #Chandigarh #Museum #India

Regards,
India.
