Regional names and traditions
Are Vishwakarma Puja and Biswakarma Puja the same?
Yes. Vishwakarma Puja, Biswakarma Puja, Bishwakarma Puja, and বিশ্বকর্মা পূজা are regional spellings for the same observance. Biswakarma is especially common in Bengal, Odisha, Assam, and eastern India.
Why is Vishwakarma Puja linked to Kanya Sankranti?
Samvat calculates this observance from Kanya Sankranti, the Sun's entry into sidereal Virgo. That solar-calendar rule differs from the lunar tithi rules used for festivals such as Raksha Bandhan or Diwali, so the civil date stays around mid-September.
Why this date?
Observed on Kanya Sankranti, when the Sun enters sidereal Kanya (Virgo).
