Vishwakarma Jayanti, a Hindu deity, is a day of celebration for the divine architect, Vishwakarma. He is considered to be autonomous and the creator of the world. He built the holy city of Dwarka, where Krishna ruled the Maya assembly of the Pandavas, and was the creator of many magnificent weapons for the gods. Also called divine carpenter, he is described in the Rigveda and credited with the Staptya Veda, the science of mechanics and architecture.
Vishwakarma is celebrated on the last day of the Bengali month of Bhadra and on the Kanya Sankranti of the Hindu calendar, it is usually celebrated on September 17 of each year. The eastern states of the country like West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, Tripura and Assam celebrate this day, while Nepal also celebrates it.
Vishwakarma was originally used as an Indra for any supreme deity and as a feature of Indra and Surya. The name Vishwakarma appears five times in the tenth book of the Rigveda. Vishwakarma is identified in the two hymns of the Rigveda, who are on every side looking and having eyes, face, hands and feet on each side. The post-creation god Brahma, who has four faces and four arms, is similar to him. He represents all as a source of prosperity, as fast as the thought and entitled seer, priest, lord of speech.
Later portions of the Rigveda reveal attempts to find a satisfactory answer to the mysteries about the origin of the universe, the composition hymns present in these parts of the Rigveda mention individual creator deities rather than a collection of deities and their chiefs (Indra,) Varuna, Agni, etc.) the creation of the world.
Vishwakarma is envisioned in the Rigveda as the ultimate reality (later developed as a Brahmin) from whose umbilical cord all visible things of Hiranyagarbha emerge. The same image appears in the Yajurveda Shuddha Sukta, in which the divine blacksmith Tvastra emerges from Vishwakarma. In the later mythological period, this concept paved the way for images of Brahma, Vishnu and Sadasiva. It is sometimes known as Tavastra.
The festival is mainly celebrated in factories and industrial areas, often in the workshop. As a sign of reverence, the day of worship is marked not only by the community of engineers and architects, but also by craftsmen,mechanics, blacksmiths, welders, industrial workers, factory workers and others. They pray for a better future, safer working conditions and above all, success in their respective fields.
Workers also pray for the smooth operation of various machines. It is common for artisans to worship their tools on their behalf to avoid using tools while doing so. Modern electronic servers are also revered for their smooth operation.
Statues and special paintings of Vishwakarma have been installed in every workplace and factory in general. All the workers gather at a common place and bid.
