Navagraha Temple Tour

9 Planetary Temples around Kumbakonam

Navagraha Temple Tour — Matha Call Taxi & Travels

The Navagraha temples are nine sacred Shiva temples in the Cauvery delta around Kumbakonam, each dedicated to one of the nine celestial bodies (Navagrahas) that influence our lives. Devotees visit all nine to seek relief from planetary afflictions (dosha) and to invite health, prosperity and peace.

Matha Call Taxi & Travels runs the complete Navagraha circuit as a guided cab tour — with an experienced local driver who knows every temple, the ideal darshan order and parihara timings. Pickup from Thanjavur, Trichy or Kumbakonam, comfortable AC vehicles, fixed fares, and all the time you need at each shrine.

Bookings are per vehicle, not per seat. For a small group, a 7-seater or the 14-seat Tempo Traveller shares the cost across everyone; ask the desk about group departures on your date.
Yes. Pickups from Thanjavur and Trichy are routine; the extra distance to the first temple is included in the quote.
Yes. The drive between temples is short; choose an Innova or Innova Crysta for comfort and tell the driver where longer stops are needed.
The usual order from Kumbakonam runs Suryanar Koil, Kanjanur, Thirunageswaram, Alangudi, Thiruvenkadu, Vaitheeswaran Koil, Thirunallar, Keezhaperumpallam and Thingalur; the driver follows the order that fits your start point and temple timings.
The vehicle, the driver and the driver allowance for the day. Tolls, parking and temple offerings are at actuals; confirm the inclusions on the quote.
Most temples open early and close for the afternoon, so a 6 to 7 am start gives the morning darshan and the afternoon for the longer drives. Timings change on festival days; check with the temple before travel.
No. The quote covers the vehicle, driver and driver allowance; meals, stays, offerings and entry or special-darshan fees are paid by you. The driver suggests places to eat on the route.

They lie between Kumbakonam, Mayiladuthurai and Karaikal, mostly 10 to 30 km apart, which is why the circuit is done by car over one long day or two easier days.
Yes. Kumbakonam is about 90 km from Trichy; an early flight followed by a two-day circuit with a night stop in Kumbakonam is a common plan.

There is no single mandatory order, but many devotees start with Suryanar Koil (Sun). Our drivers plan the most efficient route around your pickup point and can follow a specific parihara order if you prefer.
We pick you up from anywhere in Thanjavur, Trichy or Kumbakonam and plan the route around your location. Kumbakonam is the most central base for the circuit.
