Festivals of India in the month of September
Vishwakarma Puja
Vishwakarma is known as
the divine Engineer since the Puranic age. As a mark of reverence he is not
only worshiped by the engineering community but also by all other
professionals. This festival is celebrated in the
month of September. On this day all the workers in the workshops
and offices worship their tools and instruments in front of Lord Vishwakarma,
which are generally used in their profession. This is the puja of Lord
Vishwakarma, the main architect of the
universe who had fabricated the universe as per the direction of
Brahma, the lord of creation.
Vishwakarma Puja is celebrated by all industrial houses, artists, craftsman and weavers. The festival is observed on the Kanya Sankranti Day (September) which follows the Ganesh Puja. This festival is celebrated with full enthusiasm. It is observed mostly in workshops, offices and factories in the industrial areas. Shop floors in various factories wear a festive look on this occasion. The images and idols of Lord Vishwakarma and his faithful elephant are inaugurated and worshipped in beautifully decorated pandals.
