Why Tamil Hindus pray to the Navagraha

Tamil Hindus pray to the Navagrahas-the nine celestial planets-to seek their blessings and mitigate the negative influences of these planets. Each planet is believed to govern different aspects of life, such as health, wealth, and relationships. By offering prayers and performing rituals, devotees aim to bring balance, harmony, and prosperity into their lives. The Navagrahas are also installed in temples to symbolize cosmic order and to help worshippers drive away misfortunes.
