Whenever we use man command it opens the manual corresponding to the command(if exists). Operations on it are almost same as that of the less command(like search forward using / or backward using ? or browse forward using d etc). I am just curious whether man command internally invokes less command to display the manual contents?

By default, yes. This can be overridden via $PAGER and $MANPAGER in turn.
