Overview
Vahan (Vehicle) Puja for families in Maidagin
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.
Maidagin is a busy crossing and neighbourhood in the northern part of old Varanasi, close to Chowk and the old city lanes. It is a key junction where traffic from the newer parts of the city meets the narrow streets leading into old Banaras.
