VISHWAKARMA IS THE DIVINE ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE
 The Divine Draftsman:
Vishwakarma is the presiding deity of all craftsmen and architects. He is the divine draftsman of
the whole universe, and the official builder of all the gods' palaces. Vishwakarma is also the designer of all
the flying chariots of the gods, and all their weapons.
The Mahabharata describes him as "The lord of the arts, executor of a thousand handicrafts, the
carpenter of the gods, the most eminent of artisans, the fashioner of all ornaments ... and a great and
immortal god." He has four hands, wears a crown, loads of gold jewelry, and holds a water-pot, a book, a
noose and craftsman's tools in his hands.
Vishwakarma's Architectural Wonders:
Hindu mythology is full of Vishwakarma's many architectural wonders. Through the four 'yugas''yugas',,
he had built several towns and palaces for the gods. In "Satya yuga", he built theSwarg Loke, or heaven
heaven,,
the abode of the gods and demigods where Lord Indra rules. Vishwakarma then built the 'Sone ki Lanka'
in "Treta yuga", the city of Dwarka in "Dwapar yuga", and Hastinapur and Indraprastha in the "Kali yuga”
'Sone Ki Lanka' or Golden Lanka:
According to Hindu mythology, 'Sone ki Lanka' or Golden Lanka was the place where the demon
king Ravana dwelled in the "Treta yuga." As we read in the epic story Ramayana
Ramayana,, this was also the place
where Ravana kept Sita, Lord Ram's wife as a hostage.
There is also a story behind the construction of Golden Lanka. When Lord Shiva married Parvati,
he asked Vishwakarma to build a beautiful palace for them to reside. Vishwakarma put up a palace made
of gold! For the housewarming ceremony, Shiva invited the wise Ravana to perform the "Grihapravesh"
ritual. After the sacred ceremony when Shiva asked Ravana to ask anything in return as "Dakshina",
Ravana, overwhelmed with the beauty and grandeur of the palace, asked Shiva for the golden palace
itself! Shiva was obliged to accede to Ravana's wish, and the Golden Lanka became Ravana's palace.
 Dwarka:
Among the many mythical towns Viswakarma built is Dwarka, the capital of Lord Krishna. During the
time of the Mahabharata, Lord Krishna is said to have lived in Dwarka, and made it his "Karma Bhoomi"
or center of operation. That is why this place in nothern India has become a well known pilgrimage for
the Hindus.
Hastinapur:
In the present "Kali Yuga", Vishwakarma is said to have built the town of Hastinapur, the capital of
Kauravas and Pandavas, the warring families of the Mahabharata. After winning the battle of
Kurukshetra, Lord Krishna installed Dharmaraj Yudhisthir as the ruler of Hastinapur.
Indraprastha:
Vishwakarma also built the town of Indraprastha for the Pandavas. The Mahabharata has it that King
Dhritrashtra offered a piece of land called 'Khaandavprastha' to the Pandavas for living. Yudhishtir
obeyed his uncle's order and went to live in Khaandavprastha with the Pandava brothers. Later, Lord
Krishna invited Vishwakarma to build a capital for the Pandavas on this land, which he renamed
'Indraprastha'.
'Indraprastha'.
Legends tell us about the architectural marvel and beauty of Indraprastha. Floors of the palace were so
well done that they had a reflection like that of water, and the pools and ponds inside the palace gave the
illusion of a flat surface with no water in them.
After the palace was built, the Pandavas invited the Kauravas, and Duryodhan and his brothers went to
visit Indraprastha. Not knowing the wonders of the palace, Duryodhan was flummoxed by the floors and
the pools, and fell into one of the ponds. The Pandava wife Draupadi, who witnessed this scene, had a
good laugh! She retorted, hinting at Duryodhan's father (the blind king Dhritrashtra) "the son of a blind
man is bound to be blind." This remark of Draupadi annoyed Duryodhan so much that later on it
became a major cause for the great war of Kurukshetra described in the Mahabharata and theBhagavad
Gita.
Vishvakarma in the Vedas
In Yajurveda, Viswakarma is described as Virad purusha purusha sukta from whose navel [the later
puranic concept of padmanabha] the divine smith Tvastar originated.[dwiteeya anuvaka of yajurveda
