Vishwakarma Puja is a celebration dedicated to Lord Vishwakarma, the divine architect of the universe. The festival is observed on Wednesday, September 17, aligning with Kanya Sankranti.
The celebration has its roots in the Rigveda, where Lord Vishwakarma is mentioned as the heavenly craftsman who constructed the city of Dwarka for Lord Krishna and designed divine weapons for the gods.
This festival occurs on the final day of the Bengali month of Bhadra, aligning with Kanya Sankranti, the solar shift into the Virgo zodiac sign, which is thought to commemorate the divine birth of Lord Vishwakarma.

It aligns with Kanya Sankranti, marking the sun's entry into Virgo.
Mechanics and engineers, weavers and artisans, factory workers, architects, and designers all honor their tools and machinery today, even in temples and businesses.
On this day, devotees begin with a sacred bath and worship Lord Vishwakarma at their workplaces, offering prayers to tools and machines, along with flowers, akshat, sweets, and a lit diya, seeking his blessings for prosperity and success.
Tools and machines are worshipped as sacred symbols of creation, skill, and divine craftsmanship. By honoring tools, workers express gratitude for their livelihoods, seek prosperity, and recognize the dignity of labor and innovation.
Certain states, such as Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh, observed a bank holiday for Vishwakarma Puja.
May the celestial creator endow you with talent, innovation, and success. Wishing you a joyful Vishwakarma Jayanti 2025.
