Heritage Institute of Technology (HITK) celebrated Vishwakarma Puja on its campus with great enthusiasm and devotion, bringing together students, faculty, and staff to honor Lord Vishwakarma, the divine architect and patron deity of engineers, craftsmen, and innovators.
The celebration, held across the Institute’s engineering departments and workshops, featured traditional rituals, cultural performances, and a shared sense of gratitude toward the tools, machines, and technologies that form the backbone of engineering education. Laboratories, workshops, and technical equipment across campus were adorned and ceremonially worshipped, reflecting the age-old tradition of paying respect to the instruments of creation and craftsmanship.
“Vishwakarma Puja holds special significance for an institution like ours,” said Mr. Pradip Agarwal, CEO, Heritage Group of Institutions. “It’s a moment for our students and faculty to reflect on the deep connection between tradition and technology — reminding us that innovation is, at its core, a continuation of the craftsmanship this festival celebrates.” said Prof. Basab Chaudhuri, Principal, HITK.
The festivities fostered a strong sense of community and reinforced the Institute’s values of discipline, dedication, and respect for the tools of one’s trade.
Heritage Institute of Technology has long been recognized for blending academic excellence with cultural richness, and this year’s Vishwakarma Puja celebration stood as yet another example of the Institute’s commitment to nurturing well-rounded engineers who honor both innovation and heritage.
