What is New Vehicle Pooja?
New Vehicle Pooja (Vahana Pooja) blesses a new car, bike or commercial vehicle for safe journeys before it is driven. The pandit can do it at your home, apartment parking or the showroom.
The vehicle is worshipped as a helper of the family: Ganesha is invoked to remove obstacles on the road, the vehicle is decorated and marked with auspicious symbols, and a coconut is broken before the first drive.
