Highlights of the Tour

When planets move from one direction to another, certain people's fortunes change. We gain enormous benefits from worshipping the planets. According to Indian Astrology, the planetary positions of nine planets in a geocentric orbit determine how a person will live, progress, and represent his or her life to others before death. Nava is the number nine, and graham is the planet. There are nine temples located in Tamil Nadu representing each planet in the Navagraha and our DIVINE NINE PLANET TRAIL covers all of them. Navgrah are: 

Suryan,                Sunday          Sun

Chandran            Monday          Moon

Angarakan          Tuesday         Mars 

Budhan               Wednesday    Mercury
