Varanasi, October 5: With theme-based pandals on a rise this Durga Puja, organisers in Varanasi have designed a pandal with 'Chandrayaan-2' as their concept. The pandal, which is around 100-feet in height, was completed in two months. Along with the installation of idols of goddesses, people here have also made a model of ISRO Chief K Sivan and astronauts.
Member of Durga Puja Committee, Rajan Jaiswal on Saturday told ANI, "Even though the Chandrayan-2 mission did not happen in the way it was planned, we want to celebrate the efforts made by the ISRO. We have made a model of ISRO Chief K Sivan as he said they plan to do another moon mission. We have even installed models of astronauts."
