Navagraha temples
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Navagraha temples are temples devoted to Navagraha - the nine (nava) major celestial bodies (Grahas) of Hindu
astronomy. These celestial bodies are named Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Chevvaai/Mangal (Mars), Budhan
(Mercury), Guru/Brihaspati (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn), Rahu (North Lunar Node) and Ketu (South
Lunar Node). Many temples in South India contain a shrine dedicated to the Navagrahas. However, the term
Navagraha temples refers to a cluster of nine separate temples, each an abode of one of the Navagrahams.
