Hotels In Navagraha Temple
Nalbari, Assam, India
The Navagraha Temple is a unique and historically significant temple in Guwahati, dedicated to the nine celestial bodies (Navagrahas) that play a crucial role in Hindu astrology and cosmology. It is believed to be a major center for astrological and astronomical studies during ancient times in Assa m. The temple was built by the Ahom King Rajeswar Singha (1751-1769 AD), one of the most powerful rulers of the Ahom Dynasty. The temple's distinctive feature is its circular plan, with nine Shiva Lingas installed inside, each representing one of the Navagrahas: Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Mangala (Mars), Budha (Mercury), Brihaspati (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn), Rahu (North Lunar Node), and Ketu (South Lunar Node). Each Linga is associated with a specific planet and its corresponding color and offerings. Devotees visit this temple to seek blessings for planetary peace and to mitigate any adverse astrological influences. Historically, the Navagraha Temple was not just a place of worship but also an important observatory. The priests and scholars associated with the temple likely conducted astronomical observations and calculations, contributing to the understanding of celestial movements and their impact on human lives. The shikhara (dome) of the temple was once red in color, a common practice in ancient times to signify its association with the nine planets. Though the temple might appear modest compared to some other grand structures, its unique purpose and historical significance make it a compelling site. It stands as a testament to the blend of religious belief and scientific inquiry prevalent in ancient Assam. The panoramic views of the city from Chitrasal Hill also add to the temple's appeal.
