Why Visit Assam During Vishwakarma Puja?

Assam in mid-September is a post-monsoon paradise. The rains leave behind a fresh green landscape, flowing rivers, and cool, pleasant weather. This is the perfect time for scenic drives, quiet temple visits, and peaceful tea garden walks. The weather in Assam during Vishwakarma Puja adds charm to every experience, whether spiritual or adventurous.

Vishwakarma Puja 2025 falls mid-week, making it ideal for a short, meaningful getaway. With fewer tourists and nature in full bloom, Assam becomes a top destination for Vishwakarma Puja travel. You can celebrate the festival with devotion and then explore heritage towns, river cruises, and serene retreats that rejuvenate the soul.

The Sacred Vishwakarma Mandir of Guwahati

The Vishwakarma Mandir of Guwahati is one of the oldest temples dedicated to Lord Vishwakarma. It is perched at the foot of the revered Nilachal Hills, near the Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati and is one of the most sacred shrines dedicated solely to Lord Vishwakarma in Northeast India. 

According to legend, when the first motorable road to Kamakhya Temple faced repeated natural hindrances in the 1960s, builders sought blessings from Lord Vishwakarma. With the help of Pandit Bhabakanta Sarmah and Mahabir Prasad Dhirasaria, a temple dedicated to Lord Vishwakarma was built. After worship began, the road was completed smoothly, and the temple became a sacred site for artisans and builders.
