In Vedic astrology, the nine planetary deities (Navagrahas) exert powerful karmic influences over human health, prosperity, longevity, and spiritual evolution. Situated within a 60-kilometer radius around the historic temple city of Kumbakonam in the Cauvery Delta, these nine ancient Shiva temples each enshrine one planetary sovereign.
