Vishwakarma Puja
Vishwakarma Puja is an annual Hindu festival celebrated to honor Lord Vishwakarma — the divine architect and craftsman of the gods, credited with creating the celestial cities of Dwarka, Lanka, and Indraprastha, and the flying chariots of the devas. The puja is observed on Vishwakarma Jayanti (September 17) and is especially popular among artisans, factory workers, engineers, and mechanics. On this day, all tools, machines, vehicles, and instruments of trade are cleaned, decorated, and worshipped as extensions of the divine creator.
