Vishwakarma Jayanti: A Special Event by Diwam Jewels

At Diwam Jewels, we recently celebrated Vishwakarma Jayanti, an important festival for people who work in creative and technical fields. This special day honours Lord Vishwakarma, who is known as the divine architect and the creator of the universe. He is a symbol of creativity, craftsmanship, and engineering, and his teachings inspire many of us in our work.

This year, our celebrations were not just about improving our skills but also about building strong friendships and teamwork among our employees. We believe that when we work together and support each other, we can achieve great things. The festival was filled with joy, colourful decorations, and traditional rituals that helped create a lively and inviting atmosphere. Everyone participated with enthusiasm, making the day truly memorable.

In addition to the fun and celebrations, we also took the time to help others in our community. We organized a special support initiative for the Babla Burman Memorial Trust (BBMT). This charitable organization works hard to provide education, food, and clothing to less fortunate people. By supporting BBMT, we aimed to impact the lives of those in need positively.

In the following article, we will discuss the specific activities we organised during the celebration and how they contributed to our mission of giving back.

Vishwakarma Jayanti: Honoring the Creator of Tools and Technology

Vishwakarma Jayanti, also known as Vishwakarma Puja, is an important day in Hindu culture, especially for artisans, engineers, and people who work with tools and technology. Lord Vishwakarma is respected for making special tools, beautiful buildings, and powerful weapons for the gods. He is celebrated as the greatest engineer and craftsman. On this day, we at Diwam Jewels, along with our community, came together to honour the divine spirit that inspires and helps us in our work.

In history, Lord Vishwakarma is known as a divine architect and master craftsman. He created amazing structures, like the city of Lanka and the heavenly palaces for the gods. His talent and creativity are praised in many ancient texts, including the Rigveda, where he is shown as a divine figure who brings life and order to the universe. His work reminds us of how important craftsmanship and innovation are in society, inspiring many artisans and engineers to follow in his footsteps.
