These celestial deities govern our entire human life, destiny, and karma. Worshipping them is believed to balance and give relief from their cosmic effects.
The dedicated and spacious Navagraha Sthanam of this temple is one of its most unique features. With 15-foot tall statues of each Navagraha, and representations of all 12 Raasis, this divine sanctuary allows for specialised pujas, personal connection and literally brings the Navagrahas to life. The surrounding garden of the 27 Nakshatras and their corresponding trees further enhances the experience.
In Vedic astrology, your Raasi refers to one of the twelve divisions of the sky through which the Moon, Sun, and planets appear to move. It is broadly equivalent to the Western Zodiac, with some notable differences on how raasis are calculated and represented. In addition, the positions of the 9 Navagrahas relative to one’s raasi have a significant impact on those areas of your life. Want to know your raasi? You will need your time of birth, birthday and the location where you were born. Raasi calculators are readily available online. We recommend consulting an expert for a more in-depth analysis and guidance.
