Vishwakarma puja or god biswakarma jayanti and this day is considered as Holiday for the construction workers will take the day off to celebrate the creative genius of Vishwakarma, who in Hindu mythology was an architect and engineer and built many wonders in the world. Automobile workshops and factories around the country will also remain closed today to celebrate the day, which involves setting up altars at factory and construction sites to make offerings to Lord Vishwakarma and distribute “blessed food”, and concludes with dancing to loud music late into the evening. Vehicle owners also festoon their cars with balloons and colourful ribbons.
