Every year on 17th September, India celebrates Vishwakarma Puja—a festival that honors Lord Vishwakarma, the divine architect and engineer of the universe. But this isn’t just a religious day, it’s also a celebration of skills, innovation, and hard work. From big industries to small workshops, from offices to factories, people take a pause to thank their tools, machines, and workplaces for supporting their livelihood.
🌸 Who is Lord Vishwakarma?
If you imagine mythology as a storybook, Lord Vishwakarma is like the master designer and builder of the gods. Legends say he created Indraprastha (the Pandavas’ capital), Pushpak Vimana (a flying chariot), and even Lord Vishnu’s Sudarshan Chakra.
In short, whenever the gods needed something extraordinary built, Vishwakarma was their go-to engineer. That’s why he’s remembered as the god of architecture, craftsmanship, and innovation.
