At A2 Groups, we celebrate Vishwakarma Puja every year to show our respect for the creativity and hard work that help build the world around us. This special day is observed in factories, industries, and workplaces to worship Lord Vishwakarma, the god of architecture and craftsmanship. In Hindu mythology, Lord Vishvakarma is known as the creator of the palaces of the gods and is seen as the master craftsman.
For those of us who work with tools, machines, and technology, Vishwakarma Puja holds special meaning. It is a time to thank the tools we use in our work, ask for blessings of safety and success, and appreciate the skills needed to create everything we depend on.
Throughout the day, we perform rituals to honor Lord Vishwakarma, recognizing the importance of the tools and machines that are part of our daily lives. This celebration shows how closely craftsmanship and spirituality are connected, where hard work, care, and effort are key to achieving success.
At A2 Groups, this day reminds us of the values we aim for dedication to our work, professionalism, and striving for excellence. Vishwakarma Puja is a day to respect the creativity that shapes our world and to draw inspiration from the divine creator who leads us in our work.
Vishwakarma Jayanti is a lively Hindu festival that celebrates Vishwakarma, the divine architect of the universe. This day honors Vishwakarma’s incredible achievements, such as designing the city of Dvaraka for Krishna, the palace of Indraprastha for the Pandavas, and creating powerful weapons for the gods. Vishwakarma is also admired for helping Brahma in the creation of the universe.
During the festival, people perform special prayers and offer flowers and sweets to Vishwakarma, asking for his blessings for their work. Artisans, engineers, and workers celebrate with enthusiasm, appreciating the divine inspiration behind their skills and recognizing Vishwakarma’s lasting impact on their professions.
Every year, our A2 Groups family, including the CTO, CEO, and all employees—comes together to celebrate Vishwakarma Puja with meaningful rituals and activities. Here’s a glimpse of what happens during the event:
We put a lot of effort into decorating the venue to create a festive atmosphere. The space is beautifully adorned with vibrant floral arrangements, traditional lights. These decorations reflect the joy and significance of Vishwakarma Puja, making the environment warm and inviting for everyone.
The Vishwakarma Puja ceremony begins with traditional rituals led by a respected priest. We chant sacred mantras, offer flowers, fruits, and other items to the deity, and light lamps. The priest explains the significance of each step, guiding us through the ceremony. We also include our tools, equipment, and work-related items in the puja, seeking blessings for protection, success, and prosperity in the coming year.
A central part of our Vishwakarma Puja is the blessing of tools and machinery. This ritual symbolizes divine protection and empowerment for the tools we use every day. Whether it’s an industrial machine, a simple hammer, or a laptop, we honor and seek blessings for these instruments that help us in our work.
After the puja, we distribute prasad (holy offering) to everyone. This prasad represents the blessings received from the deity and is a cherished part of the tradition. Consuming the prasad is believed to bring good luck and prosperity.
Our event also features cultural performances that showcase the creativity and talent within our community. We enjoy traditional music, dance, and artistic expressions that reflect the spirit of craftsmanship.
The following day, we conduct the Visarjan ceremony to conclude the Vishwakarma Puja. This ritual involves immersing the deity’s idol in water, marking the end of the celebrations. The Visarjan symbolizes the return of the divine presence to its celestial abode and is an integral part of the puja tradition.
Vishwakarma Puja is a long-standing tradition that has been celebrated for many years, and it becomes more meaningful each year. This event is not just a ritual; it’s a celebration of the skills, creativity, and divine support that guide our work. By taking part in Vishwakarma Puja, we honor the tools and abilities that are essential to our daily lives and ask for blessings for success and prosperity in our work.
Celebrating Vishwakarma Puja is as important to us as any major festival. It’s a chance to come together, look back at what we’ve achieved, and appreciate the value of our work. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the celebration, being part of this event helps keep the tradition alive and highlights its importance in our lives.
