Viswakarma puja performed


Correspondent

KORAPUT: Worship of Viswakarma, son of Lord Brahma who is also recognised as the divine engineering architect of the whole universe, was performed in different puja pandals all across Koraput district on Thursday. Viswakarma was worshiped in the pandals of different engineering departments in the district, the pandals in the plant premises of HAL at Sunabeda and NALCO at Damanjodi were the greatest attractions. Devotees of Lord Jagannathbelieve that it was lord Biswakarma in disguise as an old carpenter and persuaded king Indradyumna to allow him to carve the idol of Lord Jagannath out of the “Daru”, the holy log.
