'''Navagraha '''(Pron: nævəˈgrɑ:ə)''' pilgrimages''' are pilgrimages devoted to [[Navagraha]]—the nine (nava) major celestial bodies ([[Graha]]s) of [[Hindu astronomy]]. These temples are made of stone. These celestial bodies are named [[Surya]] (Sun), [[Chandra]] (Moon), [[Mangala]] (Mars), [[Budha]] (Mercury), [[Brihaspati]] (Jupiter), [[Shukra]] (Venus), [[Shani]] (Saturn), [[Rahu]] (North [[Lunar Node]]) and [[Ketu (mythology)|Ketu]] (South [[Lunar Node]]). Many temples in South India contain a shrine dedicated to the Navagrahas. However, the term Navagraha temples refers to a cluster of nine separate temples, each an abode of one of the Navagrahas.
