Carved wood vahanas in National Museum
Vahanas or "vehicles" of Hindu Gods are mythical characters having significant religious value. Temples in India use depictions of these vehicles in many forms during temple processions. National Museum, New Delhi houses a collection of Carved Wood Vahanas in the gallery of decorative arts. This collection at the National Museum is unique among museums in India, which includes large images of Garuda, Hanuman, elephant, horse, swan and lion and these artefacts are mostly from the period between the 17th and 20th century.〔Gupta S. P. (ed.) (1985) Masterpieces From The National Museum Collection. National Museum, New Delhi.〕 Ancient Indian temples house numerous kinds of wood carvings having religious context to be used for various temple activities. The majority of ''Vahanas'' are made of wood and decorated with designs made with varied techniques. ''Vahanas'' have been mentioned in temple inscriptions dating back to the 13th century.〔Sri Varadarajaswami temple, kanchi: A study of its History , Art and Architecture , K.V.

== Use of vahanas ==
Vahanas are mythical carriages of the Hindu Gods and life-sized or large versions of ''vahanas'' are especially used to mount the movable images of deities. In southern India, especially Tamil Nadu, annual religious festivals that last from a week to ten days involve the parading of deities mounted on a vehicle around the temple.
