While closely following the journey of Chandrayaan-2, India's second mission to the moon, Shantanu Moitra was struck by the realisation that the country's scientists had never been celebrated through the artistic medium. The acclaimed music composer, who also happens to be an amateur astronomer, immediately made up his mind to put together a one-of-its-kind concert honouring every aspect of this scientific milestone.

"Even though Chandrayaan missed its target by a whisker, I did not hear a single person utter that the effort was a waste. This wisdom that the average man in the country demonstrated really startled me, considering that we are living in an environment where everything is up for debate."
