However many are not aware that apart from the nine Shiva temples, there is also the Vaishnava Navagraha Kshetras, a set of nine Vishnu temples in and around Kumbakonam corresponding to the Navagraha. In all these temples Lord Vishnu itself is worshiped to get relief from the Graha Doshas.

Surya (Sun) : Sarangapani Perumal in Kumbakonam. Lord married Lakshmi as Komalavalli and is seen with bow Sarnga. Significance considered second only to Srirangam Ranganatha.
