From a BBC Hindi article I know that Mars is maNgal मंगल but what does maNgalyaan मंगलयान mean? How it is constructed?
"Mangalyaan" literally stands for "Mars Craft" and it means "a spacecraft for Mars" or more practically related to India's Mars mission, it stands for "Mars Orbiter Spacecraft"
Hindi word reference: मंगलयान maNgalyaan
