Western and Northern India represent Vishvakarma as an elderly and wise man with four arms, a white beard, and his Vahana, a hamsa (goose or swan). The swan as Vahana links his association with the creator god Brahma. He is often depicted seated on a throne with his sons standing nearby.

In Eastern states of India like Jharkhand and West Bengal, he is portrayed as a young, muscular man with a black mustache, and not accompanied by his sons and Vahana elephant, linking him with Indra or Brihaspati.
