About this Aarti
Aarti of Bhagwan Vishwakarma, the deva-shilpi (divine architect), worshipped on Vishwakarma Jayanti by craftsmen and engineers.
Sung on Vishwakarma Jayanti (17 September every year, when Surya enters Kanya rashi), at factory openings, foundation-laying of buildings, inauguration of vehicles and machines, and at the start of every craftsman-Vishwakarma puja.
Bhagwan Vishwakarma is hailed in the Rigveda (10.81-82) as the primordial divine architect — the maker of Indra's vajra, Vishnu's Sudarshan Chakra, Shiva's trishul, Surya's chariot, and the celestial cities of Dwarka, Lanka, Indrapuri (Amaravati), and Hastinapur. He is the kula-devata of all craftsman communities — Vishwakarma Brahmins, Lohar (blacksmiths), Sunar (goldsmiths), Badhai (carpenters), Kumhar (potters), and modern engineers. Vishwakarma Jayanti — observed on 17 September annually (Kanya Sankranti) — is one of the few Hindu festivals fixed by solar reckoning rather than lunar, and is a working holiday at most Indian factories and government engineering offices.
Significance & Importance
Worship of Vishwakarma is said to bring success in all craftsmanship, technical work, business, and machine-operations — and to protect against industrial accidents.
