Navagraha temples route

Navagraha temples route: 9 temples starting from Kumbakonam, about 158 km straight-line in this order: Thingalur, Alangudi, Thirunageswaram, Suriyanar Koil (near Aduthurai), Kanjanur, Vaitheeswaran Koil (Pullirukkuvelur), Thiruvenkadu, Keezhaperumpallam, Thirunallar. The road distance is longer.

Computed from each temple's latitude and longitude: straight-line distance, rounded to the km; the road distance is longer

The Navagraha temples lie around Mayiladuthurai and Kumbakonam, and the day-long special bus the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation announced for them leaves from the Kumbakonam bus terminus. So this order starts from Kumbakonam.

How this order is chosen

Starting from Kumbakonam and visiting each temple once, this is the order with the smallest total straight-line distance. It is computed, not a traditional sequence. Roads do not run straight, so the real travel distance is longer. Confirm each temple's darshan timings before you set out.

Frequently asked

How many days does the Navagraha route take?

In February 2024 the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation announced a day-long special bus from Kumbakonam to the Navagraha temples around it, every Saturday and Sunday. Check the current service with the transport corporation.
