Vishwakarma Puja Celebrations on September 17

Vishwakarma Puja, or Biswakarma Jayanti, or Viswakarma Puja is celebrated annually on September 17. Vishwakarma Puja is dedicated to Lord Vishwakarma the divine architect of the universe in Hinduism.

Vishwakarma Puja, or Biswakarma Jayanti, is celebrated annually on September 17 in Bengal, Orissa, Jharkhand, Assam, Tripura and other parts of Eastern India. Majority of the Hindu festivals are not celebrated on a constant date because most auspicious days and festivals depend on the lunar calendar and on tithi – lunar day, which changes annually. But majority of times Vishwakarma puja falls on September 17 (very rarely it might vary by a day).
This is because Vishwakarma Puja day is calculated based on the transit of the sun. The two major schools of almanacs followed in Bengali are the he Suryasiddhanta and Bisuddhasiddhanta. Both subscribe to the same view.
