The festive season unfolds in India. On September 16, the divine architect Lord Vishwakarma will be worshiped. This day is also known as Vishwakarma Jayanti and is a day of great significance for Hindus especially the artisans and craftsmen; as on this day it is believed that worshiping Lord Vishwakarma gives immense blessing and prosperity in trades.
Vishwakarma means "all maker" or the "maker of the universe". He is believed to be related to the Sun God; when Sun God Surya's daughter left home due to his high energy Vishwakarma reduced the energy and made various weapons using it. He is known for building divine cities like Dwarka and Indraprastha. Nala, who had a significant role in the Ramayana, is the son of Vishwakarma.
