After the triumphant completion of the Axiom-4 mission, Indian astronaut Subhanshu Shukla returned home to a rousing welcome at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport.
The astronaut, who spent nearly a year in space as part of the international Ax-4 crew, was received by Union Minister Jitendra Singh, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, and senior officials from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
Outside the airport, the atmosphere was electric as large crowds waving the national flag and beating traditional dhols gathered to celebrate Shukla’s return. Many described the moment as historic, hailing Shukla as a symbol of India’s growing prowess in global space exploration.
