Before you go
Questions, answered.
In what order should the Navagraha temples be visited?
Many devotees start with Suryanar Koil (Sun) and finish at the Ketu temple, so we plan the route that way where the road allows. Confirm local custom with your priest or family tradition.
Are the Navagraha temples open all day?
Most close for several hours in the afternoon, which is why Day 1 and Day 2 start early.
What should I bring?
Offerings for each planet vary by temple, and temple shops near each entrance sell them.
