@Bhagya sri113 and Chronikhiles: Just found that there are nine ancient temples in the Chennai region that are dedicated to the Navagrahas, and Kundrathur Nageswarar Temple is one of them, (dedicated to Rahu). The other eight are:
- Surya: Agastheeshwarar temple, Kolampakkam
- Chandra: Somanadheeswarar temple, Somangalam
- Angaraka: Vaitheeswarar temple, Poonamallee
- Budha: Sundareswarar temple, Kovur
- Guru: Ramanatheswarar temple, Porur
- Shukra: Velleeswarar temple, Mangadu
- Shani: Agastheeshwarar temple, Polhichalur
- Kethu: Neelakandeswarar temple, Gerugambakkam
Most of these do not have articles. I think separate articles need to be created for each of these. What do you guys think? Rasnaboy (talk) 06:18, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Rasnaboy They certainly do deserve articles in their own right, agreed. Chronikhiles (talk) 11:56, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Sure thing. Given they share a common aspect, each need its own article. I'll try to find more about them, too. Bhagya sri113 (talk) 14:19, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Rasnaboy Neelakandeswarar Temple, Gerugambakkam has been created. Please do add reliable sources to this article, I was unable to find any myself. Chronikhiles (talk) 09:43, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, User:Chronikhiles. I've created a new category "Navagraha temples in Chennai" and added in these pages. Bhagya sri113 (talk) 10:19, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you both. Will see if I could glean more info on these. Most of these are ancient temples, so once sources for the date of completion for these temples are available, let's add them to the table in Heritage structures in Chennai. Rasnaboy (talk) 11:54, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
- Sounds good! Chronikhiles (talk) 15:19, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
