Vishwakarma Puja, also called Vishwakarma Jayanti or Vishwakarma Day, is a significant Hindu festival celebrated in honour of Lord Vishwakarma, who is considered the creator of the universe. This day typically falls on the 17th of September each year, the last day of the month 'Bhadrapada', according to the Hindu calendar. The festival is observed predominantly by people involved in various forms of craftsmanship, including artisans, engineers, architects, mechanics, and factory workers. The day is also known as 'Bhadra Sankranti' or 'Kanya Sankranti'.
Vishwakarma Jayanti promotes the idea that every form of work, no matter how humble, is a valuable contribution to the world. This day also symbolises the beginning of new ventures, the inauguration of factories and workshops, and the worship of tools and machinery.
