Vishvakarma, the divine architect of the universe, holds a special place in Hindu thought as both engineer and artist. He is credited with creating the great cities of the past—Lanka, Dvaraka, and Indraprastha—as well as the chariots and weapons of the devas, including Indra’s powerful Vajra. His craftsmanship is woven into sacred lore, and his legacy lives on as the timeless blend of design, function, and beauty.
The Shri Maha Vishvakarma Purana, written in classical Sanskrit by Muni Kālahastī, describes in 34 adhyāyas the extraordinary life and works of this divine craftsman. It is presented here with a precise Hindi translation, making the text accessible to a broader audience.
Alongside it is the Śilpasāra (“Essence of Architecture”), a concise treatise attributed to Vishvakarma himself. In 146 verses, it outlines the principles, responsibilities, and aspirations of those who shape structures and ideas—part manual, part meditation on creativity. The Hindi translation by Kolloju Shrikantacharya captures both its precision and poetic essence.
This well-crafted, attractively priced edition combines scripture and craftsmanship, devotion and design, making it a valuable addition for readers interested in Hinduism, Indian Studies, Religious Studies, history, art, and architecture. We are proud to make it available at the bookstore and through mail order.
