Significance of Vishwakarma Puja

Vishwakarma Puja marks the birth anniversary of Lord Vishwakarma, who is considered the divine architect of the universe. According to Hindu mythology, he is credited with designing the holy city of Dwarka for Lord Krishna, as well as creating powerful weapons like Lord Shiva's Trishul and Indra’s Vajra. This festival is particularly important for professionals working in the fields of construction, manufacturing, and design.

Devotees worship Lord Vishwakarma for his creative prowess and seek his blessings for success, innovation, and growth in their respective trades. On this day, tools, machinery, and other instruments are venerated as symbols of livelihood, with many workers refraining from using their tools out of respect for the deity.

Vishwakarma Puja Rituals

1. Holy Bath: Devotees start the day with a sacred bath to cleanse themselves before performing rituals.
2. Workplace Rituals: Many workers visit their workplaces (factories, offices, or workshops) to offer prayers, even if it is a holiday.
3. Worship of Tools and Machines: Tools, machines, and other instruments are adorned with flowers, akshat (unbroken rice), and lit oil lamps made with desi ghee.
4. Offering to Lord Vishwakarma: Sweets and other offerings are made to seek blessings for prosperity and success in one’s profession.
5. Chanting Mantras: Devotees recite mantras and aarti dedicated to Lord Vishwakarma during the rituals.
