New Delhi: Vishwakarma Jayanti, also called Vishwakarma Puja, is a significant Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Vishwakarma. Considered the divine architect and craftsman of the universe, Lord Vishwakarma is the son of God Vastu and Goddess Angisri. As per the Hindu mythology, Lord Brahma was assisted by Lord Vishwakarma to plan and create this entire universe. He is also the one who got involved in creating a map of this entire world. Observed annually on Kanya Sankranti, Vishwakarma Jayanti’s origin can be traced to sacred ancient Indian scriptures like the Rigveda.
The festivity is primarily observed by people engaged in various crafts, including artisans, engineers, architects, mechanics, and factory workers, with grand rituals and prayers. In today’s time, Vishwakarma Jayanti is primarily observed in the eastern states of India, such as Assam, Tripura, West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar and Jharkhand. As this significant day is approaching soon, let’s find out the date, significance, and other important aspects related to it.
Unlike most Hindu festivals, Vishwakarma Jayanti falls on the same date every year, September 17. The Hindu Panchang states, it is observed when the sun enters Virgo during Kanya Sankranti. In 2025, the festival will be celebrated on Wednesday, September 17, marking the end of the Bhadrapad month.

Lord Vishwakarma is regarded as the first architect of the universe. Hindu scriptures mention, he constructed many divine creations, including Swarg Lok, the Pushpak Viman, Lord Krishna’s city of Dwarka, Yamapuri, Kuberpuri, and Lord Vishnu’s Sudarshan Chakra. That is why on Vishwakarma Jayanti, people engaged in construction, factories, workshops, machines, tools, and industrial work worship Lord Vishwakarma for the blessings of success and progress.
On this day, people clean and purify their tools, machines, and instruments used in daily work. After taking a bath, devotees place idols or images of Lord Vishnu and Lord Vishwakarma on a clean platform. Offerings such as seasonal fruits, sweets, dry fruits, and panchamrit are presented to the deity.
After lighting incense and lamps, aarti is performed, and tools and machinery are decorated with flowers and a tilak. It is believed that performing Vishwakarma Puja in this way brings divine blessings, growth in business, and success in professional life.
Celebrating Vishwakarma Jayanti 2025 is not only about devotion, but also about creating something new and honing the skills.
