Vishwakarma is the craftsman's deity and the divine architect of the gods. Also, known as Tvastar in earlier texts.
Interestingly Vishwakarma is shown holding various instruments including what looks like a Theodolite an instrument used for leveling before construction.
The Vishwakarma Statue at Chakreshwar Temple Nalasopara Maharashtra clearly shows one of the heads seeing through an optical device called Theodolite, used for engineering and land survey.
Other statues of Vishwakarma are shown holding instruments that we can only guess at.
Please give comments about these instruments on the pictures below.

बंगाल में पाल सेना साम्राज्य के समय की लगभग 9वीं शताब्दी की एक बौनी विष्णु मूर्ति, नदी की रेत से बिस्तर ओन्डग्राम ब्लॉक बंकुरा जिले, पश्चिम बंगाल के तट पर खोजी गई।. इस क्षेत्र में बंगाल में 8वीं शताब्दी का सबसे पुराना मंदिर भी है और यह एक विरासत स्थल है।

This more or less comprehensively sums up the view of this majestic temple - an iconic creation of the Pallava era. A majestic creation of King Narasimhavarman, the second aka Rajasimhan - one of the greatest and the mightiest Pallava kings. Did not have this view with me and decided to go there and get this one recently. Unsurpassed, beauty, grandeur and excellence.

The Achyuta Raya Temple is in Hampi. It was built in 1534 AD. It is one of the major, splendid and awe-inspiring temples of Hampi located between the Matanga hills and Gandhamadana.
This magnificent temple depicts Vijayanagara architecture style of temples in its best and most improved form. This was among the last dazzling temples that were constructed in the celebrated city of Hampi prior to the decline of the Vijayanagara Empire.

One of the first UNESCO World Heritage sites in India.
Having carvings & sculptures related to the life of Lord Buddha.
This is marked as the beginning of Indian Classical Art.
Friends, We are talking about 2nd century BCE !
But this achievement was impossible with the primitive tools!
