Welcome to
The Vishwakarma Homepage
This homepage is an attempt to coalesce information about the Vishwakarma
community.
Background
In Hindu mythology, Vishwakarma is considered as the Divine Architect.
He is called 'Devashilpi' or 'The Architect
of Gods' . His mother was Yogasiddha, sister of Brihaspati.
His father was Prabhas, the eighth hermit of the legendary Astam Basu.
The Rig Veda describes Vishwakarma
as the god with multi-dimensional vision and supreme strength. He is
able to predict well in advance in which direction his creation will
move.
Vishwakarma is credited with crafting the entire Universe. He is regarded
as the Supreme Worker, the very essence of Excellence and Quality in
Craftmanship. He is the patron deity of all engaged in productive
enterprises.
Present
In today's world, the descendants of Lord Vishwakarma are believed to,
traditionally engage in creative craftmanships such as goldsmithy,
blacksmithy, carpentry, sculpting etc. However, many such descendents have
long abandoned such filial occupations and have ventured into more
modern professions.
