From factory floors and automotive garages to software firms, artisans and engineers offer flowers, tilak (vermilion), and kalava threads to heavy machinery, laptops, and hand instruments. Factories halt manufacturing for the day to conduct communal prayers and distribute prasad.

Devotees conclude the primary rituals by lighting ghee lamps and chanting the sacred Vishwakarma aarti:

Prabhu Shree Vishwakarma Ghar Aavo, Prabhu Vishwakarma

Sudama Ki Vinay Suni, Aur Kanchan Mahal Banaye

Sakal Padarath Dekar Prabhu Ji, Dukhiyon Ke Dukh Tar

Vinay Kari Bhagwan Krishna Ne, Dwarikapuri Banao.

Gwal Balon Ki Raksha Ki, Prabhu Ki Laaj Bachay

Ramchandra Ne Poojan Ki, Tab Setu Bandh Rachi Daro

Sab Sena Ko Paar Kiya, Prabhu Lanka Vijay Karavo

Shree Krishna Ki Vijay Suno, Prabhu Aake Darsh Dikhavo.

Shilp Vidya Ka Do Prakash, Mera Jeevan Safal Banao
