🙏 Who is Lord Vishwakarma?
Think of Lord Vishwakarma as the original engineer—the cosmic creator who designed legendary marvels like:
- Dwarka, Lord Krishna’s dazzling kingdom
- Pushpak Vimana, the flying chariot from ancient times
- Golden Lanka, Ravana’s majestic city
In today’s language, he’d be the ultimate blend of architect, mechanic, and tech genius rolled into one. Worshipping him is like acknowledging the divine spark behind every tool we use, every machine we run, and every design we dream up.
