Vishwakarma

Vishwakarma is the Hindu god of all craftsmen and architects. Son of Brahma, he is the divine draftsman of the whole universe, and the official builder of all the gods’ palaces. Vishwakarma is also the designer of all the flying chariots of the gods, and all their weapons.

The Mahabharata describes him as “The lord of the arts, executor of a thousand handicrafts, the carpenter of the gods, …” He has four hands, wears a crown, loads of gold jewelry, and holds a water-pot, a book, a noose and craftsman’s tools in his hands.

Vishwakarma Jayanthi is celebrated on the Kanya Sankranti Day (September). On this day the forefathers of the present Vishwakarma community have invented the plough and gifted it to humanity.

Next step: let it dry for a very very long time, then most probably open it up and glue again…?

La Gauchée

Sitar Factory Posted on Wednesday, 2 November 2005 by AnandaSunday, 21 March 2021

Is “sitar” masculine or feminine?
Paul came to collect his sitar. It was a left-handed sitar.
Made in the Rikhi Ram factory in the late 1960s.

It concerned a joint repair.
