The first and foremost thing is obviously to arrange an idol of Lord Vishwakarma for the puja. Depending on your spending capacity you can even go for a very small sized idol. In the extreme case you can also do with an image or even just a reverence in your mind.You must also get a priest on time. In the last moment it might not be possible to get the priest.

The priest will tell you all that you will need to do the puja. Just arrange for these before the puja.Ensure that not even a single thing is missed and you know exactly where you have kept what. You must ensure that you clean the factory well before the puja begins. The place where the idol of Lord Vishwakarma is placed must be washed well before you place the idol. The machines should also be maintained well before the puja begins. Some belive that buying a new machine on the day of the Vishwakarma puja can actually bring in good luck and prosperity. As per the wish and ability of the owner the factory can be decorated. Some owners many also invite a friends and family for the puja.

The puja must start at the given time. The workers must wear new clothes and be present for the puja. You must announce to the workers the exact time they should be present for the puja. The Puja is followed by the distribution of the prasad to one and all. A lunch is arranged in the factory premises itself.

After that in the evening an Aarti is arranged to seek the blessing of the Lord. The Aarti must be taken to the room where machines are placed. This Aarti will bless these machines and ensure that no accidents occur in the future. Some also place a haldi and kumkum dot on the machines that are worshipped on Vishwakarma puja. These bring in good luck. The workers must also participate in the Aarti and seek the blessings of the Lord Vishwakarma.

In many states of India on the day of Vishwakarma puja kite flying is done. Colourful kites cover the whole sky. It is a time of joy and celebrations. Some also arrange for kite festivals. No matter what the age of the person is they actively participate in the kite flying activity. This is more common in Bihar and West Bengal.Some factory owners also take to charity on the Vishwakarma puja day. Charity can always bring in good luck and blessings to those doing it. Do always remember that the workers of the factory who toil so hard with their sweat and time, are the live embodiment of Lord Vishwakarma so the owners and management should always keep their interests in mind.
