Vishwakarma Puja 2009

Vishwakarma Puja is celebrated on 17th Sept every year. Last year I had posted a photo and video feature on Vishwakarma Puja.

Vishwakarma is the Hindu presiding deity of all craftsmen and architects. He is the “Principal Universal Architect”, the architect who fabricated and designed the divine architecture of the Universe at the behest of Brahma, the Lord of Creation. He is regarded as the supreme worker, the very essence of excellence and quality in craftsmanship. Viswakarma is the divine architect of the whole universe. He has four hands, carrying a water-pot, a book, a noose and craftsman’s tools. Vishwakarma is also known as the divine engineer of world. As a mark of reverence he is not only worshiped by the engineering and architectural community but also by all professionals. It is customary for craftsmen to worship their tools in His name.

Being an engineering educational institution, it is celebrated in our college too but only in Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engg. As the event organizer of my department, I and my team of students organized a science exhibition on the occasion of Vishwakarma Puja this year along with the usual Puja. Here is a photo feature of the day :-

So how is/was Vishwakarma Puja celebrated in your college? Tell me in the comments section!!

Also I would like to convey my best wishes for Navratri to my readers and their families. Enjoy!
