This is what lends the festival of Vishwakarma Puja its significance. The religious texts have it that it was he who brought the tripartite universe heavenly realms and their worlds, the mortal realm and their worlds, and the netherworldly and other celestial realms and worlds into existence. It was he who created Swarga (Heaven) in the Satya Yuga Sone ki Lanka (Golden Lanka) in the Treta Yuga the city of Dwarka, the capital of Lord Krishna in the Dwapara Yuga and many other architectural marvels into existence out of thin air. It was he who formed the chariots and various weapons of Gods and gave each its unique divine attributes.
And it was he who revealed the sciences of industry to us because of which we see the progress that has been made.The entire unit management, employees, and workers, along with their families come together to perform the puja. Even the tools, particular to each person profession, are worshipped in the name of Lord Vishwakarma but are not put to use until the next day.
