Lord Vishwakarma Aarti:

Jai shri vishwakarma prabhu, jai shri vishwakarma 

Sakal srishti ke karta, rakshak stuti dharma.

Aadi srishti me vidhi ko shruti updesh diya 

Jeev matra ka jag me, gyan vikas kiya. 

Rishi angira tap se, shanti nahin pai 

Rog grast raja ne jab aashraya leena 

Sankat mochan bankar door duhkha keena 

Jai shri vishwakarma...

Jab rathkaar dampati, tumhari ter kari 

Sunkar deen prarthna, vipat hari sagari 

Ekanan chaturanan, panchanan raje 

Tribhuj chaturbhuj dashbhuj, sakal roop saje 

Dhyan dhare tab pad ka, sakal siddhi aave 

Mann dvividha mit jave, atal shakti pave 

Shri vishwakarma ki aarti jo koi gave

Bhajat gajanand swami, sukh sampati pave 

Jai shri vishwakarma.
