The worship ritual typically starts with the veneration of Lord Ganesha, as is customary in Hindu worship. Lord Ganesha is worshipped first before any other deity. A tilak is applied to Lord Vishwakarma’s forehead, and a lamp is lit. Devotees offer prayers, fruits, sweets, and flowers to Lord Vishwakarma. Mantras are recited to seek the longevity and success of their equipment and businesses.

Following the prayer, devotees seek Lord Vishwakarma’s blessings and distribute fruits and sweets among those present as a gesture of sharing the divine blessings.
