When the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft arrives at the lunar orbit, the lander will separate from the propulsion module and is expected to make a soft landing near the Moon's South Pole. After the landing, the six-wheeled rover will conduct the experiment for one lunar day (14 days as per Earth). (AP)

According to ISRO, the landing of the spacecraft on the moon's surface is expected to happen on August 23. If everything goes as scheduled, we will be seeing history in the making.  (NASA Website)
