CTOnews.com, August 29 (Xinhua)-- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced during a visit to the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in Bangalore that the lunar ship 3 landed near the South Pole of the moon as "Shiv Shakti Point".

CTOnews.com notes that according to Hindu mythology, the words "Shiv" and "Shakti" stand for "Shiva" and "power" in Sanskrit, respectively. Modi said that Shiva is the supreme god of Hinduism, and Shakti in this case refers to the perseverance of female scientists.

It is reported that the crash site of Yueshan 2 in 2019 was named "Tiranga Point", and "Tiranga" is also a Sanskrit word translated as "tricolor", commonly referred to as India's tricolor flag. "this will inspire all the efforts made by India," Mr Modi said. " "this will remind us that any failure is not the end."

It is worth mentioning that these names are informal and have not yet been approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The Federation is a Paris-based organization that gives official names to celestial bodies and their characteristics.
