The month of September brings with it an essence of the forthcoming festivities. The pleasant weather of early autumn, with cloud scattered across the sky looks more colourful with the numerous kites floating side by side on this festive day. The festival of the God of Architecture and engineering, Biswakarma, is celebrated in September by industrial houses, artists, craftsmen, and weavers. According to mythology it is he who created the entire universe as well as the heaven and |

|
the earth.
Bishwakarma is also credited for creating the missiles used in the mythological
era, including the Vajra the sacred weapon of Lord Indra, from the bones
of sage Dadhichi. He is regarded as the supreme worker, the very
essence of excellence and quality in craftsmanship. |

The rituals
are followed by the distribution of "prasad". The yearly feast is cooked,
where the workmen and the owners lunch together. Throughout the day colourful
kites are flown. The sky fills up with all shades and colours. Chadials,
Mombattis, Chowrangees, Petkattas, Mayurpankhis, Baggas fly high to establish
the skills of the fliers. The sky becomes a war zone with the discarded
kites dropping every now and then with the cry of "Bho-Kattaaa" from the
distant roofs or parks. |
