It has a lander, which is called Vikram (or Vikram Lander), and a rover called Pragyan, which has successfully landed on the moon and has started gathering samples.
The major reason for this mission is to study and explore the surface and subsurface of the moon, especially to see if there is water ice on the moon. The mission will further pave the way for future human habitation. Chandrayaan-3 is a big win for India.
