A Ganesh Pandal in Hyderabad has created a replica of ISRO’s Chandrayaan-3 moon mission along with a message of support for the Indian cricket team in the upcoming ICC World Cup through their pandal, which is a fusion of faith, science and love for cricket. The thematic pandal has been built by the Agrasen Yuva Mandal at Kukapally’s Shanti Nagar. 

The replica was designed by Rahul Agarwal from Malakpet, who used cloth, foam, cardboard and a remote car to create the replica of the Chandrayaan-3 moon mission launcher, lander module Vikram and six-wheeled rover Pragyan. He said he got full support from his team members.

The team said they were inspired by the achievements of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and hoped to see India win the World Cup again.

"We are around 25 people. Every year we celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi grandly with a theme. We celebrate with unity for 10 days. After the Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the moon, it was the greatest achievement for India. No other country did that. Also, the ICC men's World Cup is coming in October, so keeping that in mind, we thought of cheering for the team. So we have come up with two themes for this year's Ganesh Pandal," Piyush Agarwal, a member of Agrasen Yuva Mandal said as quoted by news agency ANI.
