Devotees Immerse Eco-friendly Bishwokarma Idols In Nepal
An eco-friendly idol of the Nepali Hindu god Bishwokarma is pictured on top of a vehicle as it is taken for immersion into the Bagmati River in Kathmandu, Nepal, on September 18, 2024. Bishwokarma, the official builder of all god palaces, is worshipped by people working in the fields of metallurgy and vehicles. According to Hindu mythology, Vishwakarma, the designer of all the flying chariots of the gods and goddesses, also designs and makes weapons for them. In the Mahabharata, the world's biggest epic, he is described as ''The lord of the arts, executor of a thousand handicrafts, the carpenter of gods, most eminent of artisans, the fashioner of all ornaments and a great and immortal god.''
