Overview

Vahan (Vehicle) Puja for families in Rathyatra

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.

Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.

स्वावेशो अनमीवो भवा नः॥

Rig Veda 7.54.1

Planning Your Puja in Rathyatra

The crossing is congested for much of the day; early-morning slots are easiest.
During the Rath Yatra fair, expect road diversions and heavy crowds nearby.
Commercial buildings may restrict open flames, so check before a havan.
Parking can be limited near the crossing; arrange a drop-off point for the Pandit.
Keep the vehicle washed and parked where the Pandit can move around it.
Samagri is not included in the dakshina; it is at an additional cost, agreed after discussion with Pandit ji.
