Vishwakarma Expo 2025: Craftsmanship, Innovation & Community

The Vishwakarma Expo 2025, often called the Vishwakarma Jayanti Mela or Vishwakarma Bhagwan Jayanti Fair, is a grand celebration combining spiritual, cultural, and artisanal dimensions. It coincides with Vishwakarma Jayanti, the festival dedicated to Lord Vishwakarma, revered in Hindu tradition as the divine architect and craftsman.

The expo is a platform for craftsmen, engineers, artisans, and small businesses to display tools, products, and innovations, while also deepening community ties and preserving traditional skills.

The expo serves as a public recognition of the artisans, craftsmen, factory workers, engineers, and others who depend on tools, manual skills, and technical innovation. Vishwakarma Jayanti is especially meaningful for them.

For many small artisans or craftsmen, fairs like this can provide direct exposure to consumers, possible sales, partnerships, and awareness of governmental schemes (like PM Vishwakarma scheme etc.).

There will be skill-building workshops for artisans, including modern design and digital marketing. Startups and MSMEs displaying fusion products—blending tradition with technology. A special focus on the government’s Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Kaushal Samman Yojana, offering credit, training, and certification for craftspeople.

With rising competition from mass-produced goods, platforms like these provide visibility to local craftspeople. Traditional skills like blacksmithing, idol-making, and weaving are showcased in their authentic form, ensuring that younger generations see their value.

The Vishwakarma Expo 2025 stands at the crossroads of devotion and development. It honors the divine craftsman while empowering real-world craftsmen and women who form the backbone of India’s creative economy.

When: 17th - 19th September.

Where: Indira Gandhi Pratishthan, Lucknow.
