Vishwakarma Day is celebrated to worship Lord Vishwakarma. Vishwakarma is known to be the divine engineer since the Puranic age. As a mark of reverence he is worshipped not only by the engineering and architectural community, but also by all professionals. On this day, artisans, craftsmen, mechanics, smiths, welders, industrial workers, factory workers, and workers of all kinds worship Lord Vishwakarma and pray for a better future, safe working conditions, and above all success in their respective fields.
