A Simple Saree in a Museum! #mangalyaan #isro #nandiniharinath #smithsonian #marsmission #saree

Why would the Smithsonian preserve a simple Indian saree?

This is the story of Dr. Nandini Harinath, one of the key scientists behind ISRO’s historic Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan). During the critical Trans-Mars Injection maneuver in 2013, she was wearing a simple red-and-blue saree.

When India became the first nation to reach Mars orbit on its very first attempt, images of ISRO’s women scientists in sarees captured global attention. Years later, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum acquired Dr. Nandini Harinath’s saree—not because it was expensive, but because it became part of one of the greatest achievements in space exploration history.

🇮🇳 Science. Culture. History.

Jai Hind.
