Vishwakarma is the Hindu god of architecture. Vishwakarma Puja (Vishwakarma Jayanti) is a day of celebration for Vishwakarma. Engineers, architects, artisans, craftsmen, mechanics, smiths, welders, industrial workers, factory workers, and others pray for a better future and safer working conditions.
Workers also pray for the smooth functioning of various machines. Legend states Vishwakarma constructed the holy city of Dwarka, where Lord Krishna ruled. He is believed to be the creator of the weapons of the gods, being the divine carpenter.
It is customary for craftsmen to worship their tools in his name, refraining from using the tools while doing so. Celebratory statues and pictures of Vishwakarma are placed in positions of prominence within workplaces and factories.

We use the Indian civil calendar, the official holiday calendar in India. The Hindu faith has many calendars, each specific to different regions and tribes, with dates and celebrations marked by differing positions of the sun, moon, and stars. Names of months and holidays and the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar may vary widely from one calendar to the next. Determine the proper calendar before attending local events.
