Vishwakarma Jayanti 2025, which falls on Kanya Sankranti, celebrates creativity, skill, and divine energy. It reminds us that every kind of work we do is a form of worship.
One of the most significant festivals of engineers, craftsmen, and artisans in India is Vishwakarma Puja, otherwise referred to as Vishwakarma Jayanti. Lord Vishwakarma, the universe's creator architect and builder, is the focus of this festival. It is a celebration of innovation, creativity, and imagination. In 2025, it will be observed on Wednesday, September 17, with the Sankranti moment at 01:55 AM, according to Drik Panchang. This festival connects devotion with daily life, reminding us that work is a form of worship and every skill is sacred in dharma.
The Date and Shubh Muhurat of Vishwakarma Puja 2025
Vishwakarma Jayanti Puja is on the 17th of September this 2025 according to the Drik Panchang. The relavant Sankranti Moment will occur on the 17th of September 2025 at 01:55 AM. The rituals can therefore commence on this date and at this time. On this day, the Sun moves into Virgo, which is known as Kanya Sankranti.
In many regions, especially Bengal, Odisha, Assam, and Bihar, this day is also celebrated as Bhadra Sankranti, the last day of the Bengali month of Bhadra. Factories, workshops, and workplaces often remain closed to honour the deity, and instead, workers gather to pray for efficiency, prosperity, and harmony.
Significance of Vishwakarma Puja
The festival carries profound meaning for artisans, mechanics, engineers, and workers who depend on their tools. People believe that worshipping Lord Vishwakarma brings efficiency in work. It also gives prosperity and success. Along with this, it ensures safety in professional life.
The shashtras describe Lord Vishwakarma as the "Adi Shilpi," which means the first craftsman. He is also called the "Devashilpi," the architect of the gods. In the Rigveda (10.82.2), he is praised as the supreme craftsman.
“विश्वकर्मा महात्मा सर्ववित् सर्वकर्मकृत्।”
Vishwakarma, the great soul, knows everything and performs all works.
This verse tells us that every creation, whether material or spiritual, comes from divine craftsmanship. For followers of sanatangyan, the gurus and sadhus teach that every profession is sacred. Work done with devotion is also an offering to the Divine.
How to Celebrate Vishwakarma Puja 2025
Vishwakarma Jayanti is all about celebrating the day in a very significant manner. The steps that one takes to put their devotion into action to celebrate the day is a manifestation of respect for the day.
Morning Purification – Take a holy bath at sunrise to cleanse body and mind.
Workplace Worship – Install the idol or photo of Lord Vishwakarma in factories, offices, or workshops.
Offerings – Offer flowers, incense, akshat (raw rice), sweets, fruits, and light a diya.
Tool Worship – Clean and adorn tools, machinery, and instruments, representing respect for work.
Prayers for Prosperity – Chant mantras and express thanks for skills, praying for advancement.
Community Feasts – Some workers and families collect in some areas for prasad and celebrations.
Maintaining Cleanliness – Just as the shashtra advises purity in action, the workplace is cleaned to welcome positive energy.
“यत्र यत्र मनः शुद्धिः तत्र तत्र हरिः स्मृतः।”
Translation: “Wherever the mind is pure, there the Lord is remembered.”
Vishwakarma Puja reminds us that devotion doesn't always need to be massive. Even the minimal act of lighting a single diya and washing one's tools, if done with genuine intention, can bring divine grace.
Importance in Sanatangyan Tradition
In every act of work the philosophy of Sanatangyan views is as service to the divine. A sadhu meditates in the same way a craftsman is creating with tools. Just as a guru teaches from the SHASTRA, the artisan is also fulfilling Dharma. Vishwakarma Puja is a reminder that karma (works) offered with bhakti (devotion) is yajna (sacrifice).
This festival reflects the Sanatangyan belief that the divine is not just in temples but also in workshops, factories, and fields. Every hammer stroke, every architectural design, and every creation is part of the cosmic order (ṛta).
In conclusion, Vishwakarma Jayanti 2025 is not just a festival of rituals but a living reminder that in Sanatangyan tradition, every act of work—whether by artisan, engineer, sadhu, or guru—is sacred. By respecting tools, skills, and craftsmanship, we acknowledge the divine presence in our everyday karma, converting work into devotion and advancement into worship.
