Overview
Vahan (Vehicle) Puja for families in Pandeypur
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.
Pandeypur is a busy, growing residential area in the northern part of Varanasi, on the road towards Sarnath. Its main crossing is lined with shops, clinics and schools, and the colonies around it have filled with new houses and apartment buildings in recent years.

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.
