Vishwakarma Puja Greetings 2020 – the Second Online Travel

The architect of the Gods or the divine architect, Lord Vishwakarma, is worshipped on the last day of Bhadra, also known as Bhadra Sankranti or Kanya Sankranti. In 2020, Vishwakarma Jayanti is being observed on 16 September. he is son of Vastu Dev and Goddess Angisri, and he is the god of craftsmen and creators. It was Lord Vishwakarma who helped Brahma create the universe and make a map of the entire world. As per mythology, Lord Vishwakarma constructed the holy city of Dwarka, which Lord Krishna ruled. Fearing an attack from Jarasangh and Kaalayvan on Mathura, Shri Krishna and Yadavas left Mathura and arrived at the coast of Saurashtra. Once they reached the coast, Lord Krishna worshipped Samudradev, who pleased with his prayers, gave them land measuring 12 yojans. Lord Vishwakarma build Dwarka, a "city in gold" at this place. Yet another legend ties the divine architect with Lord Jagannath in Odisha. According to legends, when King Indradyumna wanted to install the idols of Lord Vishnu in the temple, Vishwakarma came to the king in the garb of an old man and said he could turn the log the king had found into the desired image, provided he was allowed to work without any disturbance. Lord Vishwakarma had one condition: he should not be disturbed, or he would leave creating the idols midway. However, the king could not control himself and opened the workshop's doors. Vishwakarma disappeared and the king was left with the three incomplete idols of Krishna, Balaram and Subhadra.

Lord Vishwakarma is also credited with creating the Maya Sabha for the Pandavas. He is credited with Sthapatya Veda, the science of mechanics and architecture in Rig Veda.
