Architect of the Gods
Vishwakarma is the divine craftsman who designed and built the celestial palaces of the gods, including Indra's Amaravati, Kubera's Alaka, and Yama's court. His creations are perfect and eternal.
Building Dwarka
At Krishna's request, Vishwakarma constructed the magnificent city of Dwarka in a single night, raising it from the ocean. The city had gold palaces, crystal towers, and was protected by divine architecture that made it impregnable.
Forging Divine Weapons
Vishwakarma crafted the most powerful weapons in existence: Indra's Vajra from sage Dadhichi's bones, Shiva's Trishul, Vishnu's Sudarshana Chakra, and Karthikeya's Vel. Each weapon was infused with divine power and purpose.
