Now let’s understand Vishwakarma Puja 2025 in detail.

Vishwakarma Puja 2025: Date and Auspicious Timings

According to the Hindu lunar calendar (Panchang), this sacred festival will be celebrated on Wednesday, September 17, 2025. This year holds even greater significance as on this very day, the Sun will transit into Virgo (Kanya Rashi), an event known in Vedic astrology as ‘Kanya Sankranti.’

The moment of Kanya Sankranti will occur at 1:55 AM. It is believed that whenever the Sun changes its zodiacal position, it directly influences both religious and social life. Therefore, Sankranti days are considered extremely auspicious and beneficial for all spiritual and material endeavors.

Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)

Brahma Muhurat: 4:33 AM to 5:20 AM

• This duration is regarded as the most sanctified and celestially blessed time for contemplation, devotional practices, and sacred rituals. If possible, performing Lord Vishwakarma’s puja during this time yields maximum benefits.

Vijaya Muhurat: 12:18 PM to 3:07 PM

• This duration symbolizes success and accomplishment. For those planning to conduct worship ceremonies at their offices, factories, or workshops, this timing proves most favorable.

Rahu Kaal (Inauspicious Period): 12:15 PM to 1:47 PM

• Scriptures consider Rahu Kaal inauspicious. Any auspicious activities or worship should be avoided during this time.

Recommended Worship Schedule in Vishwakarma Puja 2025:

Morning hours remain optimal for worship rituals. Those unable to perform morning pujas can opt for the afternoon Vijaya Muhurat. Maintaining proper timing and sacred dates substantially increases the ceremonial benefits, attracting Lord Vishwakarma’s blessed guidance for workplace success, material prosperity, and professional protection.

Mythological Significance of Vishwakarma Puja

Lord Vishwakarma is honored as the supreme divine craftsman and heavenly architect. According to sacred texts, he not only constructed divine palaces, celestial chariots, and extraordinary weapons for the deities but also created heavenly realms, the Pushpak Viman, and magnificent cities like Indrapuri.

This is why he is worshipped as the ‘First Engineer of the Universe’ and the ‘Architect of Creation.’ Puranic literature describes how during Treta Yuga, Lord Vishwakarma constructed the golden city of Lanka, which later became Ravana’s empire. In Dwapara Yuga, he built the magnificent city of Indraprastha for the Pandavas, renowned for its grandeur and prosperity.

Legend states that Lord Vishwakarma crafted:

• Lord Vishnu’s Sudarshan Chakra
• Lord Shiva’s Trident (Trishul)
• Lord Indra’s Thunderbolt (Vajra)
• Numerous other divine weapons and architectural marvels

The Philosophy Behind this Festival Vishwakarma Puja

If Lord Brahma is the ‘Creator’ of the universe, then Lord Vishwakarma is considered the ‘Constructor’ who gives structure and form to creation. When we perform Vishwakarma Puja, we engage in more than just religious ritual – we celebrate gratitude and respect toward all craftsmen, engineers, and artisans who continuously advance society through their creativity.

This explains why the festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm in factories, workshops, offices, and industrial establishments annually. People specially worship their tools, machines, vehicles, and workplaces, seeking Lord Vishwakarma’s blessings for professional growth and safety.
