Vishwakarma Puja 2026 will be celebrated on Thursday, 17 September in remembrance of Lord Vishwakarma, who is considered by Hindus to be the divine craftsman and architect. While other festivals are generally celebrated within the precincts of temples and at home, Vishwakarma Puja has a special significance with regard to work places. Machines, vehicles, tools and other technical equipment are worshipped in factories, garages, workshops, construction sites and offices where the festival is celebrated. Why do people worship machines during this festival? What is the importance of Kanya Sankranti?
