Vishwakarma Jayanti is a Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Vishwakarma, the divine architect and craftsman of the universe. He is the son of Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe, and the first engineer in the world. He is also the patron deity of artisans, engineers, architects, mechanics, and factory workers. Vishwakarma Jayanti is observed on the last day of the month of Bhadrapada, according to the Hindu calendar, which usually falls in September. This year, it will be celebrated on September 17, 2023. The origin of Vishwakarma Jayanti can be traced back to ancient Indian scriptures and texts. The earliest references to Vishwakarma Jayanti can be found in the Rigveda, one of the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism. In the Rigveda, Vishwakarma is described as the master of all crafts, the maker of all devices, and the one who fashioned heaven and earth. He is also credited with creating many divine weapons and vehicles for the gods, such as Lord Shiva’s trident, Lord Vishnu’s discus, Ravana’s flying chariot, Indra’s thunderbolt, Dwarka (Lord Krishna’s city), and Maya Sabha (the hall of illusions for the Pandavas). He also built many palaces and temples for the gods in all four yugas (ages). Vishwakarma Jayanti is a festival of skill and creativity that honours Lord Vishwakarma and his craftsmanship. On this day, people worship Lord Vishwakarma and his tools and machines, seeking his blessings for success, innovation, and prosperity in their respective trades. They also offer prayers and gratitude to their tools and equipment, which are considered as extensions of Lord Vishwakarma’s power. They decorate their workplaces with flowers, lights, and flags, and perform rituals such as puja (worship), aarti (offering), and havan (fire sacrifice). They also distribute sweets and prasad (sacred food) among their co-workers and family members. Vishwakarma Jayanti is not only a religious observance but also a celebration of the talent, hard work, and contribution of artisans and craftsmen to society. It promotes the idea that every form of work, no matter how humble, is a valuable service to the world. It also encourages people to respect their tools and machines as divine gifts and use them wisely and ethically. It also inspires people to learn new skills and enhance their creativity. Vishwakarma Jayanti is a festival that reflects India’s rich cultural heritage and its recognition of the importance of skilled labour in building and advancing society. It is a day to celebrate Lord Vishwakarma, the divine architect and craftsman of the universe, who is also the source of inspiration for millions of artisans and craftsmen across India. It is a day to honour their skills and creativity, and to seek their guidance and blessings for a prosperous future.
