Navagraha temples, Hindu temple on Chitrachal Hill, Guwahati, India
The Navagraha Temple features nine phallic emblems of Lord Shiva, each covered with cloths of different colors representing planetary deities of Hindu astrology.
King Rajesvar Singha established the current temple structure in 1752, although an earthquake later damaged parts of the building except the inner sanctum.
The temple functions as a center for both astronomical studies and astrological practices, drawing scholars and devotees interested in celestial observations.
Located in southeastern Guwahati, the temple remains open from 4:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily, with optimal visiting conditions during November through March.
Each of the nine shrines contains specific astronomical calculations and corresponds to particular celestial bodies, making it a significant center for planetary worship.
