    Sir,
    The information on Navagraha temples of different region is very very useful.
    As a Chennaitian,I would like to know the Vaishnava Nava graha sthalams around Chennai. The temple I already know is Sri Adikesava Perumal Temple, Sriperumbudur for Raghu and Kethu.
    Likewise Subramaniya Nava graha sthalams (if present separately for around Chennai also). The temple I already know is Kukke Subramaniya temple for Raghu and Kethu.
    Thank you very much.
    Mohana
