Navagraha temples, சென்னை

58

Navagraha temples are nine temples that are located on the outskirts of Chennai. These nine temples are dedicated to Navagrahams or the nine planets. The temples were built so as to protect the people traveling to Kumbakonam from Chennai. The pathways during ancient times were difficult to negotiate and traverse and praying at the temples was supposed to keep one out of danger and ill-luck during the journey.

All the nine temples were built during the Chozha period and are their style and architecture is truly inspirational. Although all temples have equal importance but a few have been neglected over the years and stand in a bad shape today. There are some temples that have been well cared for and still look new despite the passage of time.

The presiding deity at the nine temples is Lord Shiva though He is worshipped in different forms at the temples. In some temples Lord Shiva represents the particular planets and the planets themselves are not worshipped.
