Which one should you use?

वहाँ (there) is used for a location away from the speaker, whereas its counterpart यहाँ (here) is used for a location near the speaker.

In the eastern parts of India, specifically in areas like Bihar and Bengal, तहां is used as an alternative to वहाँ.

The word is pronounced /ʋə.ɦɑ̃ː/. It has 2 syllables.

The word वहाँ is part of a larger system of distance-based demonstratives in Hindi that change depending on whether the object is close to the speaker, close to the listener, or far from both.
Hindi allows you to add the particle ही after वहाँ to create वहाँ ही, which emphasizes that the object is 'right there' and nowhere else.
The word वहाँ can sometimes be used figuratively to mean 'in that state' or 'in that condition', moving beyond physical geography into the realm of abstract situations.
