Vishwakarma Puja Vidhi:

On this day, devotees get up early in the morning, take a bath and wear clean clothes. Purify the place of worship by cleaning it thoroughly and sprinkling Ganga water on it. Take a yellow piece of cloth and make a swastika with red kumkum. A statue, photograph or idol of Lord Vishwakarma is placed on the swastika symbol after offering rice and flowers.

Lord Ganesha is prayed to first, followed by Lord Vishwakarma. Whenever prayers are offered to a Hindu deity, Ganesha is always worshipped first. A tilak is placed on Lord Vishwakarma's forehead and a lamp is lit. Then offer him prayers, fruit, sweets, flowers, etc. Recite mantras to ensure the longevity of your equipment and the success of your business. After the prayer, ask Lord Vishwakarma for his blessings and give some fruits and sweets to the people.
