Vahana Pooja is a sacred ceremony performed to sanctify your vehicle and ward off negative influences. We perform this pooja for any kind of vehicle, including Cars, Motorcycles, Bikes, Commercial Trucks, and more.

It is highly recommended to perform this pooja immediately after purchasing a new vehicle. We also perform this service for existing vehicles—especially during Ayudha Pooja or before long journeys—to seek Lord Anjaneya’s divine protection.
