Overview
Vahan (Vehicle) Puja for families in Ramnagar
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.
Ramnagar lies on the eastern bank of the Ganga, across the river from the main city of Varanasi. It is best known for Ramnagar Fort, the historic residence of the former rulers of Banaras, and for its long-running traditional Ramlila held around Dussehra.

Planning your puja in Ramnagar
Ramnagar is reached by road across the river; allow extra travel time from the ghats and central Varanasi.
Share your exact location in advance, as Pandits may be travelling from the city side.
Traffic can build up during the Ramlila and Dussehra period.
Independent houses and courtyards make larger havans and family gatherings easier.
For rituals that need the Ganga, the Pandit can advise whether to go to a ghat on the city side.
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.
