Navagraha Temple, Guwahati Overview
Navagraha Temple, perched atop Chitrachal Hill (also called Navagraha Hill) in southeastern Guwahati, is a revered Hindu shrine dedicated to the nine celestial bodies. Believed to be the dwelling of the Sun, the mightiest celestial body, the temple enshrines nine Shivalingams representing the planetary gods, each clad in coloured cloth.
Built in the old shikhara style architecture, the venerated temple is a popular pilgrim spot and is flocked by devotees day in and day out. With a magnanimous dome in place of a roof, the shrine boasts of a beehive architectural pattern. Also, the temple premises are used as a research centre for both astronomy and astrology. In addition to the elegant edifice, elaborate inscriptions and interior decor, the temple complex offers spectacular views of the Brahmaputra river and the valley below.
