Origin & Story

Traditional Vishwakarma puja liturgy (dhyana-stuti) · Traditional (composer unknown) · Traditional

Vishwakarma is hailed in the Vedas and Puranas as the divine architect — the maker of the gods' weapons, palaces and chariots, and the very craftsman of the cosmos. This dhyana-stuti, used in Vishwakarma puja, visualises him not merely as an artisan but as the supreme creative power in a five-faced cosmic form, mirroring the great Lord, radiant like countless suns and compassionate to all. On Vishwakarma Jayanti, observed widely across India especially in industrial and craft communities, workers worship their tools, machines and instruments with this hymn, praying for skill, success and the removal of obstacles in their labour.

✦ As told in scripture

It is traditionally believed that Vishwakarma, worshipped even by the gods for the fulfilment of their aims as the seventh verse states, blesses the tools and undertakings of his devotees so that their work prospers; artisans and workers hold that machines and instruments worshipped with this stuti on Vishwakarma Puja run smoothly and free of mishap through the year.

Artisans, engineers, builders and craftsmen revere him as their patron deity.
