Overview
Vahan (Vehicle) Puja for families in Lanka
Vahan Puja is the blessing of a new vehicle before it is used regularly. It is a brief, practical ritual usually performed at home, outside a temple or at the dealership, beginning with Ganesh puja and often including a prayer to Lord Hanuman or the family deity.
Lanka is the busy neighbourhood outside the main gate of Banaras Hindu University (BHU). Its roads are full of students, teachers, shops and eateries, and the residential colonies around it are home to many university and hospital families.

Planning your puja in Lanka
Traffic around the BHU gate is heavy for much of the day; morning slots are usually easier.
Guest houses and rented rooms may not permit a havan, confirm before planning a fire ritual.
A Mahamrityunjaya jaap can be done with an online sankalp if the family cannot leave the hospital.
Assi Ghat is close by for pairing a home puja with a Ganga snan or tarpan.
Tuesdays and Saturdays are busy near the Hanuman temple, so allow extra time on those days.
Keep the vehicle washed and parked where the Pandit can move around it.
Arrange a coconut, flowers, kalava, lemons and green chillies, or ask for samagri.
