On September 17, 2024, Dama Hospital enthusiastically celebrated the colourful and joyous celebration of Biswakarma Puja. Lord Biswakarma, also referred to as the “all maker,” is regarded as the god of engineering, architecture, and craftsmanship. In the industrial, technological, and artistic areas, the festival is highly significant, and this year’s celebration at Dama Hospital was a worthy tribute to these traditions. The atmosphere was filled with devotion, as the hospital community came together to seek blessings for progress and excellence in their endeavours.
The puja began in the early morning hours. The rites were performed by a priest who invoked the blessings of Lord Biswakarma for safe and effective operations, health and well-being, and technological progress in the medical profession. Since the core of the puja is the divine protection and improvement of technology and machinery, special prayers were offered for the efficient operation of hospital infrastructure and equipment. Doctors, nurses, and other staff offered prayers to God to grant them prosperity, creativity, and growth in their careers.
By welcoming the lord with such good intentions, it creates an atmosphere that is conducive to harmony—where each breath feels lighter and each moment spent in the holy’s bounty is filled with a sense of renewal and peace. It turns into a haven of hope, presenting as a constant reminder of the bountiful life that arises when we behave responsibly and with care.
At Dama Hospital, bishwakarma Puja was not just a religious event but also a celebration of the technical marvels that aid medical practice. By honouring Lord Bishwakarma, the hospital reaffirmed its commitment to integrating tradition with modern technological advancements, ensuring a brighter, healthier future for all.
