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.
