Lord Vishwakarma is the presiding deity of all architects. He is the official builder of all the gods' palaces, and the designer of all celestial vehicles and weapons. Hindus widely regard Vishwakarma as the god of architecture and engineering.
September 17 every year is celebrated as Vishwakarma Puja -- a resolution time for workers and craftsmen to increase productivity and gain divine inspiration for creating novel products. This ritual usually takes place within the factory premises or shop floor, and the otherwise mundane workshops come alive with fiesta. Vishwakarma Puja is also associated with the buoyant custom of flying kites. This occasion in a way also marks the start of the festive season that culminates in Diwali.
In some Indian states, Vishwakarma Puja is also observed the day after Diwali. But, according to the Bengali calendar, Viswakarma Puja falls on Sunday, September 18 this year.
Hi!
Correct me if I am wrong but does’nt Vishwakarma Puja happen one day after diwali? Also, it does not happen on the same date every year…
Hi Subho,
I thought Vishwakarma puja is always a day after Diwali?
Parul
Shilpa and Parul, I think you have mistaken by some south Indian festival.
Vishwakarma puja is always celebrated on 17 September
It’s almost always the 16th or the 17th of September every year – strangely enough for the lunar calendar!
Yes, Sanjay is absolutely correct…………
hi Shubo
it has definitely been wonderful to speak to you. will be sedning the goods shortly.
shilpa and parul, vishwakarma happens every year on the same date. a day after diwali we also celebrate “bhaiya dooj” .
Shubo must say wonderful work
good luck
take care

Thanks, Vineet!
The next day of Diwali is celebrated as Bhaiya Dooj as well as with “Govardhan Pooja” and “Annakoot” where some of the Hindus offer 56 food items (Chappan Bhojan) to Lord Krishna (who had picked up the Govardhan Parvat on his little finger). You may get to enjoy this if you visit any big temple (like ISKCON Temple) on this day.
Vishwakarma puja is always celebrated on 17 September

hi,
i found like there are different dates or i must say tithis (lunar calnder) in different parts of the sub continent for vishwakarma jayanti and pujas. why is it confusing ?? well i hope all of the vishvakarma decedents would definetly like to know the exact tithis, puja rituals, strotras and havans.
The load who created our surroundings and the sone ki lanka for load shiva must be known to all including brahmins who should know the vedik or puranik facts about what i call brahma-vishwakarma. as load brahma is not worshiped…………..?
Hi Thanks for the info on viswakarma puja
Vishwakarma Puja is a huge affair in the Industrial areas of Eastern India. It is the time to worship the tools and also marks the beginning of month long festivities that will culminate with Diwali. Time for some mouth watering fare too. I never knew much about the food served on Vishwakarma puja until I came across http://www.ifood.tv/network/vishwakarma_puja
It is on 18th Sept this year. I’m looking forward to some mouthwatering food too. I found out a lot about the kind of food that one can expect on the d-day by visiting http://www.ifood.tv/network/vishwakarma_puja

this year i think it is being celebrated on 18 sept na?
Vishwakarma was the divine architect and to celebrate a day to commerate his works is really interesting. I like the traditional way of celebrations, but modernism changes the ways of worshipping. However. food is always there and the grand feast on the day always fascinates me
wow! great article on Vishwakarma Puja, Subhamoy! Kornika, the article that you shared on Vishwakarma Puja food was a treat to read!
