Navagraha temples in Tamil Nadu | Seek Divine Blessings with this Step-by-step guide

navagraha temple tour tamilnadu

Last updated on September 11th, 2023 at 12:39 pm

Navagraha temples in Tamil Nadu in South India are considered very auspicious for Hindus. Each of these Navagraha temple dedicated to 9 planets in Indian mythology are thronged by devotees seeking their blessings.

Having been to these Navagraha temples twice – we will give you a detailed step-by-step guide to help you plan your trip to these temples.

As the name suggests there are nine temples dedicated to Navagrahas or nine planets. These are Surya, Chandra, Mangala or Angaraka, Bhudha, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Kethu. One can visit all temples or may visit individual temples based on one’s requirements.

These Navagraha temples are located in the Cauvery delta region of Kumbakonam – Thanjavur. Traditionally these are Shiva temples with a shrine for one of the planets. But in most of the temples, Shiva has taken a backseat giving prime importance to the planet!

Please follow the details in this post to make it a memorable Navagraha temples tour.

We suggest that you make either Kumbakonam or Thanjavur the base to explore these temples. Our recommendation is to make Kumbakonam as the base. If you are also planning to visit Thanjavur as part of your trip, then you can make Thanjavur the base.

Reaching there  

By air – The nearest airport is Tiruchirapalli which is well-connected to other cities in India.

By Train – Thanjavur and Kumbakonam are well-connected to other cities in the country.

By Bus – Thanjavur and Kumbakonam are well-connected to other cities by bus.

Stay options

Both cities have multiple options to stay depending on one’s budget.

Mode of transport

The best mode of transport to visit Navagraha temples is in a car. You can either drive in your own car or hire a taxi at either Kumbakonam or Thanjavur

Best time to visit

Winter months – October to February – are the best time to visit as temperatures will be bearable. Summers will be very hot and humid. Tamil Nadu gets rainfall in the winter months of October to December.

If you are traveling in Nov – Dec make sure there are no cyclones passing through the region which bring heavy rainfall/flooding. Monitor the weather forecast by India Meteorological Department or on Skymet.

Please cover yourself with a good hat and keep drinking a lot of water as temperatures are hot and sultry, especially in the summer months.

Travel Information

  • Navagraha temples are located in two clusters as given in the picture below. Thus, it is always better to complete one cluster at a stretch before starting with the other. The following are the Navagraha temples with location and distance from Thanjavur and Kumbakonam. All distances in Kilometres. We have mentioned the local name of the planets in brackets.

The complete circuit can be completed in one day if properly planned. We will help you with a detailed itinerary. However, if you feel it is a bit of a stretch, then you can do it over two days.

  • All temples open at 6.30 AM and close around 1.30 PM. Opens again around 4.00 PM till 9 PM. Sometimes if it is a special day, the timings may be extended or it may not be closed in the afternoon. Please check with your hotel concierge on this.
  • Shani and Rahu temples are the most crowded temples in the circuit.
  • Each planet god has a special offering – for example, it is Lotus for Surya and Gingelly seeds (Til) for Shani – which can be bought at the shops near the temple if one wishes to.
  • If you are planning to special puja in these temples, please allow more time in your itinerary.
  • Popular temples like Shani, Rahu, Guru, and Surya have special Darshan tickets. One can buy them to beat the rush.
  • Each day is auspicious to one god. For example, Saturday is auspicious for Shani and Thursday for Guru. Expect more people in these temples on these special days.
  • Doing the circuit on two days will help to club other Chola temples and also the famous shrines of Velankanni and Dargah of Nagore in the circuit.

Information on temples

Suriyanar Temple (Surya)

Entrance to the temple

Shrines for graha devatas

Emblem of Surya

Located at Aduthurai, this is not the largest in the chain. But it is fairly big. Avoid going here on Sundays as it is auspicious for the Sun god and there would be a large crowd. This is the only temple that also has shrines for other graha devatas or planet gods.

Chandiran temple (Chandra)

Main shrine

This is the smallest of navagraha temples. The temple is located in the middle of rural Thanjavur amidst green fields.

Mangala (Angaraka)

Temple entrance

Interiors of temple

We were there on Krithikkai day. There was a special puja for Lord Muruga

Temple tank

  • This is in the well-known Shiva temple – Vaitheeshwaran Koil. This is the only temple where we saw equal importance given to Shiva along with the graha devata!
  • Vaidyanathaswamy as Lord Shiva is called here is known to help cure incurable diseases. This place is also famous for Nadi Jyotishya. You will find hordes of shops advertising for Nadi Jyotishya services.

Raghu Sthalam (Rahu temple)

Entrance to temple

Devotees have a tradition of tying a holy thread to this with a belief that it will bring them good luck

Nicely carved pillars

One of the largest temples in the circuit. This also gets crowded.

Kethu Temple (Ketu)

Devotees tie small cradles for good luck

A small temple in the list of nine temples.

Budhan temple (Budha)

Budha shrine

Temple tower in light from the west

One of the largest temples in the circuit. The main temple for Shiva is huge. The shrine for Budhan is at the rear side and is smaller in size.

Guru Bhagvan Temple (Guru)

Guru temple is of modest size. One can expect a slight rush on Thursdays as it is considered auspicious, especially with students.

Shukran temple (Shukra)

Shukran temple is also not big. But considered generally auspicious for those who start a new business etc.

Shani temple (Shani)

Entrance to Temple

A long line of devotees

This is the largest and also busiest! What a transformation from what we had seen five years back!

We strongly suggest avoiding Saturday and also on weekends when you will find huge crowds and have to wait at least an hour for darshan. Go for special darshan by buying a ticket which is quicker.

Important Travel Advice

  • As we said, you can combine both clusters of Navagraha temples in one day. After finishing Cluster 1, you can proceed to complete Cluster 2 starting from Angaraka Temple first (Vaitheeshwaran Koil) and Shani Temple last going in the reverse direction. You can have lunch in Mayiladuthurai on the way – Mayura restaurant will serve you excellent vegetarian lunch on Banana leaf – and then proceed to Vaitheeshwaran Koil.
  • If you are doing Cluster 1 and 2 on separate days, we recommend you cover Dharasuram and Sarangapani temples in the evening after Cluster 1.

  • It’s advisable to avoid visiting during the peak summer months of April to June when temperatures can soar, making outdoor travel uncomfortable.
  • Consider planning your visit during festival seasons such as Pongal (January), Navaratri (September/October), or Tamil New Year (April), when the temples are adorned with decorations and host special ceremonies, providing a more vibrant and culturally enriching experience.

  • Weekdays tend to be less crowded compared to weekends and holidays. If possible, plan your visit on weekdays to avoid long queues and enjoy a more serene atmosphere at the temples.
  • Consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of monsoon (July to September) or post-monsoon (October to December) when tourist crowds are thinner, and accommodation rates may be more affordable.

Exploring The Celestial Navagraha Temples In Tamil Nadu

navagraha temple tour tamilnadu

The Navagrahas are a special concept in Hindu mythology and Indian history. Therefore, it is no surprise that different dynasties have come together to build these Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu over several centuries. This concept was so ingrained into our culture that we had even incorporated it into our calendar system, including naming the days of the week after them as well as designating specific time periods after them.

The word Navagraha means nine “homes” or “planets” and talks about the heavenly bodies you can witness from Earth. Though they are astronomically incorrect according to our current understanding of the solar system, it was still centuries ahead of the modern system of science in recognising the heavenly bodies as planets, hence the name.

As interesting as it is to discuss the amazing strides our ancestors have made in the field of astronomy, this is still a travel blog. And as a travel blog, we will do our best to talk about interesting places you can visit by yourself or with your family. It just so happens that there are nine remarkable temples dedicated to this concept right in Tamil Nadu. There are many temples dedicated to the Navagrahas all over the country, but the ones we’ll talk about are nine unique ones that form a set more commonly known as “The” Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu.

Here’s a list of the temples we will cover in the article.

  • Suryanar Kovil, Thanjavur – Surya/Sun
  • Kailasanathar Temple, Thanjavur – Chandra/Moon
  • Swetharanyeswarar Temple, Mayiladuthurai – Budha/Mercury
  • Agniswarar Temple, Thanjavur – Sukran/Venus
  • Vaitheeswaran Koil, Mayiladuthurai – Angaragan/Mars
  • Apatsahayesvarar Temple, Tiruvarur – Guru/Jupiter
  • Tirunallar Dharbaranyeswarar Temple, Karaikkal – Shani/Saturn
  • Tirunageswaram Naganathar Temple, Thanjavur – Rahu
  • Naganatha Swamy Temple, Mayiladuthurai – Ketu

Now, you can read ahead to learn more about these unique temples and what to expect when you visit them. Don’t forget to check out our Navagraha Temple Tour Packages from Chennai when you’re done to book a tour package for you and your family.

1. Suryanar Kovil, Thanjavur

We’ll start this list as tradition requires by mentioning the one dedicated to Surya , the Sun. The concept of Navagraha Temples is to worship the nine heavenly bodies that neighbour our little planet, and the only one that can take the prime spot in this list is the Suryanar Kovil, one of the famous Navagraha Temples in Kumbakonam.

One more unique fact about this temple is that it is the only one among the Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu that does not feature Lord Shiva as the presiding deity. This is because Surya himself is a major deity in Hinduism. The 11th-century temple is one of the few temples in South India not dedicated to either Lord Shiva or Lord Vishnu.

If you book a trip through our Navagraha Temple Tour Packages from Chennai, this will be one of the first Navagraha Temples in Kumbakonam you will visit.

Suryanar Temple Timings

Mon-Sat: 07:00 AM – 12:30 PM; 04:00 PM – 08:30 PM

Sun: 06:00 AM – 08:30 PM

2. Kailasanathar Temple, Thanjavur

Just as important as the Sun is the Moon, the closest companion to our planet. Represented by the god Chandra , or Soma , as known in the other parts of the country, the Moon plays an essential role in maintaining the planet’s stability and represents the period of rest needed before starting a new day.

Another one of the Navagraha Temples in Kumbakonam, the Kailasanathar temple, is also known as the Chandiranaar temple. The temple is very popular before the harvest season as Chandra, also known as the god of vegetation, plays a vital role in pre-harvest rituals.

Kailasanathar Temple Timings

Tue-Thu: 07:00 AM – 01:00 PM; 04:00 PM – 09:00 PM

Sat-Mon: 06:00 AM – 01:00 PM, 04:00 PM – 09:00 PM

3. Swetharanyeswarar Temple, Mayiladuthurai

navagraha temple tour tamilnadu

A pilgrimage to the Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu can never be completed without visiting the iconic Thiruvenkadu Swetharanyeswarar Temple, which lends its name to the town in which it is situated. This is one of the bigger Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu despite also being one of the oldest.

The temple has a legend that lands it among one of the most visited temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is said that he had danced here before dancing in the temple in Chidambaram, leading to this temple also being called Adi Chidambaram.

As one of the largest and oldest Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu, you can spend a very long time exploring the temple complex and looking at the beautiful architecture of the early Chola period.

Swetharanyeswarar Temple Timings

Sun-Sat: 06:00 AM – 12:30 PM; 04:00 PM – 08:00 PM

4. Agniswarar Temple, Thanjavur

Sukran, or Venus, has a somewhat complicated position in Hindu mythology. Unlike most deities who continually stand on the side of the Devas , Sukran is one of the few who have never stayed firmly on one side. He is known as one of the gods of knowledge and has served as a teacher to both the Devas and the Asuras . Perhaps it is this complicated position that led to him not having a statue of his own in his temple.

Whatever the case, the Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu are primarily a set of temples dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva, and the Agniswarar temple does not stray away from that path. In fact, it is one of the 276 Paadal Petra Stalams , a group of temples revered by worshippers of Lord Shiva.

Agniswarar Temple Timings

Sun-Thu: 06:30 AM – 12:30 PM, 04:00 PM – 09:00 PM

Fri: 06:30 AM – 02:00 PM, 04:00 PM – 09:00 PM

Sat: 06:30 AM – 01:00 PM, 04:00 PM – 09:00 PM

5. Vaitheeswaran Koil, Mayiladuthurai

navagraha temple tour tamilnadu

The Vaitheeswaran Koil is not just one of the oldest Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu but also one of the oldest temples in South India. The 7th-century temple is incredibly popular due to its unique legend.

Unlike the other Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu, the Vaitheeswaran Temple is known less for its worship of Angaragan , or Mangala , as the planetary body of Mars is known in other parts of the country. The main reason this temple is famous has to do with the legend behind it, where Lord Shiva appeared as a doctor and cured his devotees in the past.

As is evident from the temple’s name, Vaitheeswaran Koil is known to cure all ailments and is popular with devotees looking to take respite from any long-standing illnesses. It is an incredibly popular pilgrimage destination, so be prepared to deal with many crowded areas.

Vaitheeswaran Kovil Timings

Sun-Sat: 06:00 AM – 01:00 PM, 04:00 PM – 09:00 PM

6. Apatsahayesvarar Temple, Tiruvarur

The Apatsahayesvarar Temple, also known as Guru Stalam , is the only one among the Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu not located in an area of historical significance. In fact, it is located in the town of Alangudi and is often called Alangudi Temple among devotees.

Despite the temple being located so far off, the deity that is worshipped is one of the major ones that is worshipped among the Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu. Guru, more commonly known as Brihaspati, is the god of fire and the teacher of the Devas . Therefore, his position among the Navagrahas is very significant, making this a must-visit destination if you are going on a pilgrimage to Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu.

Apatsahayesvarar Temple Timings

Thu: 06:00 AM – 08:30 PM

Fri-Wed: 06:00 AM – 01:00 PM, 04:00 PM – 08:30 PM

7. Tirunallar Dharbaranyeswarar Temple, Karaikkal

navagraha temple tour tamilnadu

This temple on the list is technically cheating, as the Tirunallar Dharbaranyeswarar Temple, also known as Tirunallar Saniswaran Temple, is not in Tamil Nadu per se. Located in the Union Territory of Puducherry, this temple is usually included in the list of Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu as it has been part of the set for centuries. Minor technicalities aside, this temple rightfully belongs on the list. Also, our Navagraha Temple Tour Packages from Chennai will bring you here for a visit, so there is no use complaining about technicalities.

Just like these technicalities, the deity this temple is dedicated to is also one of the least-liked ones, as Shani has been associated with bad luck and diseases. Most people will see this as an opportunity to offer bribes to keep bad luck away.

This temple is also famous for its role as one of the Saptha Vidangam , seven dance moves represented by seven temples dedicated to Lord Shiva.

Tirunallar Dharbaranyeswarar Temple Timings

Sun-Fri: 05:30 AM – 12:30 PM, 04:00 PM – 08:30 PM

Sat: 04:00 AM – 09:30 PM

8. Tirunageswaram Naganathar Temple, Thanjavur

Now, we come to the most famous one among the Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu. Also known as Rahu Stalam , the Tirunageswaram Naganathar Temple is one of the most popular sites for pilgrimage through Tamil Nadu.

It is also the only one among the Navagraha Temples in Kumbakonam that is situated right inside the temple town of Tirunageswaram. As one of the more popular ones on this list, it is recommended to go there with an eye on the date if you want to avoid crowded areas.

This temple is also one of the Paadal Petra Stalams , so you will be visiting this temple even if you book a different temple tour package from Chennai.

Tirunageswaram Naganathar Temple Timings

9. naganatha swamy temple, mayiladuthurai.

The Ketu Stalam , as the Naganatha Swamy Temple is popularly called, is the last of the Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu we will cover in this article. As cliché as it is to say, last but not least, it matches well with the the Naganatha Swamy Temple as it is one of the most popular ones among the Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu.

This temple holds a significant position among the devotees of Lord Shiva as this is where he appeared after drinking the poison Halahala and obtaining the title of Neelkhand .

The actual age of the temple is still undetermined, but it is said to have been mentioned in a 7th-century poem. However, it’s not the age of the temple that is important. It is one of the few temples in India that worship Ketu and hosts exclusive poojas and festivals dedicated to Ketu , especially during the new moon.

Naganatha Swamy Temple Timings

Sun-Sat: 06:00 AM – 12:30 PM, 03:30 PM – 08:00 PM

And there you have it, your complete guide on the Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu. As important as the worship of the Navagrahas is in Hinduism, there are a significantly low number of temples solely dedicated to them.

Arulmigu Agastheeswarar Temple Kolapakkam

There are 9 temples at the outskirts of Chennai dedicated to the Navagrahams. Similar to Kumbakonam, our ancestors have built temples for all 9 planets in the then Thondai Mandalam. All these temples are built with the purpose that in those days traveling all the way to Kumbakonam from this part of the country was highly tedious.

All of them belong to the Chozha period with brilliant architecture and divinity. Few of these temples are in the state of neglect where others still look fresh and new even after centuries. The main deities of all these temples are Lord Shiva in different names. In few places the main deity, Lord Shiva Himself, represent the planet and so there is no separate shrine for the respective Graham in the temple. If planned well, one can visit all these temples in a day itself, as most of them lie on the same route (from Porur to Somangalam) except the one at Poondhamalli.

9 Navagraha Temple

The Navagrahas, nine grahas or celestial bodies, comprise Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Angarakan (Mars), Budha (Mercury), Guru (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani(Saturn), Rahu and Ketu (the two nodes of the eclipses- the Solar and the Lunar)

List of 9 Navagraha Temple:

The word Graha means “ to attract”. These celestial bodies are believed to affect the physical and mental condition of human beings. The grahas are considered to have both a malevolent as well as benevolent influence on the day-to-day course of one’s life.

The nine planets appear to move in the celestial sphere with reference to the stellar constellations known as Nakshatra (Stars). There are twenty-seven Nakshatras which are repeated in a HIndu Calendar every month. The movements of these bodies with respect to the Nakshatras are said to control a person’s destiny including his thoughts and deeds, status and prosperity. The worship of Navagrahas makes the planets that are in auspicious situations offer increased fruits of benefits for one’s actions while the planets which occupy less desirous situations tend to remove the evil effects of a person’s karma.

The Navagrahas are considered to be intermediaries between the principal deity in the temple, almost always Shiva and the worshipper. They each are in charge of specific areas of concern to the devotee, be it health, wealth,pursuit of knowledge, professional gain or just about anything else. The belief is that worshipping the specific graha for the specific need gets the devotee the boon he craves.
