1. About Vishwakarma Puja:-

  • According to Hindu mythology, Lord Vishwakarma is famous for building the city of Gods, and the Heaven where all our Gods and Goddesses reside. He is also the creator of all weapons used during the earlier days in the mythological age. He is the sole maker of the most sacred weapon of Lord Indra, ‘the Vajra’.

2. Rituals to Perform On this Auspicious Day:-

Offices and workshops are the most commonplace of observing Vishwakarma Puja. Some common rituals that devotees follow are:

  • On the previous day, all workshop owners clean their space rigorously. They select a proper place in the office or factory to place the idols. For smaller workshops, most of them empty their entire space to use it for the puja. 
  • People also worship their vehicles on this day and hence washing them properly also falls on the cleaning spree. Oiling of the machines also forms a crucial step. 
  • The next morning, the placement of the  Lord’s idols is the first step in commencing the puja. The place is well decorated with flowers. You can buy essential puja samagris, puja kits through puja stores online. 
  • For conducting the puja, you will definitely need a qualified pandit who knows about the puja vidhis and rituals. He is the one who applies vermillion, tilak, and akshat on all tools. He then offers flowers and places a Kalash near the idols. 
  • Devotees then chant mantras, sprinkle flowers, and rice in the house and establishment. They bow down to the Lord and pray for the progress in their business. 

In this way, you can pray to Lord Vishwakarma. If you are looking for online puja service and online pandit booking for Vishwakarma Puja, get in touch with Pujashoppe. They also have an extensive collection of gold plated spiritual photo frames, puja items, and divine gifts.
