- Vishwakarma Jayanti is a day of celebration for Vishwakarma, a Hindu god, the divine architect. The festival is observed primarily in factories and industrial areas, often on the shop floor. As a mark of reverence the day of worship is marked not only by the engineering and architectural community but by artisans, craftsmen, mechanics, smiths, welders, industrial workers, factory workers and others. They pray for a better future, safe working conditions and, above all, success in their respective fields. Workers also pray for the smooth functioning of various machines. In many part of India there is government holiday on 17 September for the celebration but it is not considered as a national holiday but as a "restricted holiday". It falls on 'Kanya Sankranti' of Hindu calendar. It is generally celebrated every year between 16 to 18 September, according to the Gregorian calendar, which is on the last day of the Indian Bhado month. The festival is also celebrated in Nepal.
