A new car or bike is often blessed with a small puja. A quick, auspicious fragrance and camphor aarti suit the vehicle puja — here is a simple guide.
A quick auspicious fragrance
A dhoop cone or a stick of chandan/gugal dhoop is easy to light for a short outdoor puja. See bamboo-less dhoop.
Camphor for the aarti
Pure Bhimseni camphor gives a bright flame for the vehicle aarti and tilak.
Keep it safe outdoors
Light incense away from fuel and keep it brief; a cone or cup works well in open air.
