Tripura celebrates Vishwakarma Puja
Vishwakarma Puja was celebrated throughout the state on Tuesday. Artisans, craftsmen, mechanics, welders, masons, industrial and factory workers worshipped Lord Vishwakarma the divine architect to ensure smooth functioning of machine parts and their tools. Pujas were organised in almost every nook and corner of the state including the bus termini, cycle-rickshaw and autorickshaw stands. Vehicles were decorated with garlands and streamers while engineers refrained from using gadgets and other devices as a mark of obeisance to the god. Factories and warehouses remained shut and labourers enjoyed devotional songs and special feasts. Idols and photographs of the deity were installed at workplaces including factories, automobile shops and miniature replicas adorned the interiors of cabs and buses.
