Origin

The Viswakarma community, also known as the Viswabrahmin are a social group of India which falls under one of the categories of Hindu caste system. Viswakarma [ God ] created five prajapathies – from his five faces such as Sadyojāta, Vāmadeva, Aghora, Tatpuruṣha, Īsāna. They are Manu, Maya, Twosta, Silpy, Viswajna and their respective Rishis. We believe these five children of Vishwakarma are the forebears of these five sub-groups, being respectively addressed as Blacksmiths, Carpenters, Bronze Smith, Stonemasons and Goldsmiths.

They worship various forms of this deity and follow five Vedas—Rig-Veda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, Atharvaveda, and Pranava Veda.
