HAPPY VISHWAKARMA PUJA 2025
Vishwakarma Puja, also known as Vishwakarma Jayanti, is a significant Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Vishwakarma, the divine architect of the universe. Celebrated with great enthusiasm across India, particularly among artisans, craftsmen, engineers, and workers involved in construction and manufacturing, Vishwakarma Puja is a day of reverence and gratitude towards the creator of tools, machinery, and architectural wonders. In 2025, Vishwakarma Puja will be observed on September 17th.
Lord Vishwakarma is revered as the divine architect, credited with constructing the palatial abodes of gods, such as Lord Indra’s heaven (Swarga), the mythical city of Dwarka, and the powerful weapons like Lord Shiva’s Trishul and Lord Vishnu’s Sudarshana Chakra. According to Hindu mythology, he is the son of Brahma, the creator of the universe, and is considered the patron deity of all architects, craftsmen, and engineers. His creations symbolize the blend of art, science, and spirituality, making him an essential figure in Hindu cosmology.
Vishwakarma Puja is not just a religious festival but also a celebration of skill, craftsmanship, and innovation. It is a day when professionals in various trades pay homage to their tools, machines, and instruments. The festival holds special significance for those working in industries like manufacturing, construction, engineering, and craftsmanship, as they seek blessings for safety, success, and prosperity in their work.
The celebration also emphasizes the importance of labor and the dignity of work, highlighting the role of artisans and workers in shaping the material world. By worshipping the tools of their trade, devotees express their respect and gratitude towards the instruments that enable them to earn a livelihood.
For many, Vishwakarma Puja is also an occasion to renew their commitment to ethical practices, quality craftsmanship, and the pursuit of excellence. It is a day to honor the legacy of Lord Vishwakarma and recognize the divine spark in human ingenuity.
