Navapashanam temple, Hindu temple in Devipattinam, India
Nine stone installations representing planetary deities stand in a square pattern near the Bay of Bengal, with the central stone symbolizing the Sun.
The temple administration transferred from Sivaganga Devasthanam to the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of Tamil Nadu government in December 2015.
Devotees perform rituals by offering nine different types of grains to each planetary deity, reflecting the Hindu connection between agriculture and celestial bodies.
The temple opens daily from 4:30 AM to 6:30 PM, with Madurai Airport located 115 kilometers away and Ramanathapuram Railway Station 14 kilometers from the site.
The nine planetary deity statues remain partially submerged in seawater, where visitors take ritual baths before conducting their ceremonies.
