Over different Yugas, he built many legendary cities and structures, including the fortified coastal city of Dwarka for Lord Krishna, the grand illusory palace of Indraprastha for the Pandavas, the golden city of Lanka for King Ravana and Swargaloka for the Devas, and the city of gold, Sudamapuri, for Lord Krishna’s friend Sudama. He also forged some of the most powerful divine weapons like Lord Vishnu’s Sudarshan Chakra, Lord Shiva’s Trishula and Lord Kartikeya’s spear, per Drik Panchang. From factory floors and automotive garages to software firms, artisans and engineers offer flowers, tilak (vermilion), and kalava threads to heavy machinery, laptops, and hand instruments. Factories halt manufacturing for the day to conduct communal prayers and distribute prasad. Devotees conclude the primary rituals by lighting ghee lamps and chanting the sacred Vishwakarma aarti : Prabhu Shree Vishwakarma Ghar Aavo, Prabhu Vishwakarma Sudama Ki Vinay Suni, Aur Kanchan Mahal Banaye Sakal Padarath Dekar Prabhu Ji, Dukhiyon Ke Dukh Tar Prabhu Shree Vishwakarma Ghar Aavo Vinay Kari Bhagwan Krishna Ne, Dwarikapuri Banao. Gwal Balon Ki Raksha Ki, Prabhu Ki Laaj Bachay Prabhu Shree Vishwakarma Ghar Aavo Ramchandra Ne Poojan Ki, Tab Setu Bandh Rachi Daro Sab Sena Ko Paar Kiya, Prabhu Lanka Vijay Karavo Prabhu Shree Vishwakarma Ghar Aavo Shree Krishna Ki Vijay Suno, Prabhu Aake Darsh Dikhavo. Shilp Vidya Ka Do Prakash, Mera Jeevan Safal Banao Prabhu Shree Vishwakarma Ghar Aavo
