Highlights
On this day-excursion from Trichy, visit temples dedicated to the nine celestial bodies of the zodiac, Navagrahas, as defined by Hindu mythology. The Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu are known as the Navagrahas. There are a set of nine temples in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, each dedicated to one of these nine bodies. According to Hindu beliefs, these celestial bodies have a beneficial and malefic influence on an individual’s horoscope as they move through their planetary course. Worshipping them helps remove their negative impact.
Highlights:
• Temple of Mars
• Temple of Mercury
• Temple of Ketu

Mars is said to bestow valor, victory and strength. Believers take a dip in the water tank of this temple as it is said to have curative powers for skin ailments and also removes obstacles in getting married.Mercury Temple
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeNext visit the Temple of Mercury located in the town of Thiruvenkadu, 10 miles away. This temple has been mentioned in the Hindu epic, Ramayana, and is believed to be 3,000 years old although it has been reconstructed over the ages. Mercury is said to bestow wisdom and intellect.Keelaperumpallam Temple
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeThe last stop on the tour is the Temple of Ketu located in the town of Keelaperumpallam, a twenty minute drive away. The malefic influence of Ketu is feared by all as it is defined as ‘the taker’ in Hindu astrology. All three temples were built during the reign of the Cholas between the 7th and 11th century A.D. and are reflective of the Dravidian style of architecture that is characterized by a 5-tiered central tower with ornate exteriors.
