<br/><br/> Vishvakarma is a craftsman deity and the divine architect<br/>of the devtas in contemporary Hinduism. Son of the God<br/>Brahma, Vishwakarma is said to have designed the entire<br/>universe. In Hindu mythology, Lord Vishvakarma is regarded<br/>as the “God of Architecture”. He is considered the divine<br/>engineer and the principal architect of the universe and the<br/>chief deity of all architects and engineers.<br/>Ancient Hindu texts have many references to Vishwakarma<br/>as the architect of the Gods. Images of the God Vishwakarma<br/>represent him with four hands, wearing a crown and gold<br/>jewellery. He holds a water-pot, a book, a noose and<br/>craftsman's tools in his hands.
