According to the vishnu puranam and Shrimad Bhagavatam,a Deva called Prabhas,belonging to the class of the Ashta Vasus married Rachana, the sister of Virochana, the king of the Daityas. It is from this divine union, that lord Vishwakarma was born.
The name Vishvakarman occurs five times in the 10th book of the Rigveda. The two hymns of the Rigveda identify Him as all-seeing, and having eyes, faces, arms and feet on every side and also wings. Brahma, who is four-faced and four-armed resembles him in these aspects.
Shilpi Vishwakarma designed all the flying chariots of the gods, and all their weapons and divine attributes. He is also credited with creating the missiles used in the mythological era, including the Vajra, the sacred weapon of Lord Indra, from the bones of sage Dadhichi.
Since Vishwakarma is the divine engineer of the world, as a mark of reverence, he is not only worshiped by the engineering and architectural community but also by all professionals. It is customary for craftsmen to worship their tools in his name.
Vishwakarma is credited with building Svarga in the Satya Yuga, Lanka in the Treta Yuga, Maya sabha of Pandavas and Dwarka in the Dwapar Yuga. He is said to have built the three deities Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra along with Sudarshana Chakra in the Jagannath Temple .
Vishwakarma built the Pushpaka Vimana from the sun dust from his son-in-law Surya and given it to Brahma. Brahma later presented it to Kubera. Mahadev’s Trishul and Vishnu’s Sudarshan Chakra are also believed to have been made by him from sun-dust.
The Vishwakarma Temple in Guwahati is one of the oldest temples in the world dedicated to Vishwakarma. It is situated at the base of the popular Kamakhya Temple in the foothills of Nilachal Hills.(credit:google sites)
