Vishwakarma Puja [Photo Feature]

KATHMANDU: SEPT. 17 – In the Dvaparayuga, Lord Vishwakarma hid Lord Krishna in the middle of the sea by making a ‘gate of distinction’ to hide him after the demons caused him pain.

Since he built the ‘Veda Dwaraka’ in the middle of the sea in one night, he has been considered a successful architect and since that time there has been a religious belief that Vishwakarma has been worshipped.
