Navagraha Temples Tamilnadu.
Navagraha temples are a group of nine Hindu temples dedicated to the nine celestial bodies or Navagrahas located in different parts of India. In Tamil Nadu, the Navagraha temples are located in and around Kumbakonam, a town in Thanjavur district. Each temple is dedicated to a specific planet or graha, and the presiding deity is believed to have the power to mitigate the ill effects of that particular planet in one's horoscope.
The Navagraha temples in Tamil Nadu are:
Suryanar Kovil (Sun temple)

These temples are considered very important for those seeking to appease the Navagrahas and reduce the ill effects of their positions in one's horoscope.
Each temple has its own unique rituals and practices that are followed by the priests and devotees. Many people visit these temples during specific planetary alignments or on auspicious days to perform special pujas and seek the blessings of the Navagrahas.
