Agneeswarar Temple Kanjanoor – Navagraha Sukra Sthalam Tamil Nadu
Agneeswarar Temple at Kanjanoor or Agniswara Swami Temple at Kanjanur is one of the nine Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu and is associated with Lord Sukran (Planet Venus), the sixth of Navagraha planets. Also known as Sukran Navagraha Sthalam, Agniswarar temple is located around 18 km from Kumbakonam and 2 km to the east from Sooriyanayanar Kovil, on the Kallanai - Poompuhar road, in Tamilnadu.
Similar to most of the other Navagraha Temples in Tamilnadu, the presiding deities of Agniswara Swami Temple is Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi. Lord Shiva is worshiped here as Agneeswarar, as it is said that Lord Agni (Fire God) have worshipped Lord Shiva here. Goddess Parvati is worshipped here as Karpagambal.
It is said that Lord Brahma was blessed with a vision of Shiva's marriage with Parvathi here. The Braham Linga enshrined in the Agniswarar Temple is said to have worshipped by Lord Brahma. Another important feature is that the Oil Abishekam performed to the main Siva linga is fully absorbed by the idol. There is no separate sannidhi for Lord Sukra as Lord Shiva himself is believed to have incarnated as Venus here.
The Temple and its History
Located on the northern banks of river Cauveri, Kanjanoor Agneeswarar Temple or Kanjanur Agniswara Swami Temple is built with two prakarams. A five tiered Rajagopuram is seen at its entrance. Other deities worshipped here are Maanakkanjaarar, Nayanmaar and Kalikkaamar. Images that describe the legends relating to Haradatta Sivacharyar of Vaishnava origins, inscriptions from the Chola and Vijayanagar periods, and stone images of Natarajar and Sivakami are seen in this temple.
The Nataraja Sabha is referred to as the Mukti Mandapam and the Shiva Tandavam here is called as Mukti Tandavam. Legend says that Lord Shiva blessed Paraasara muni (Parasara Muni is the father of Vyasadeva and the author of Vishnu Puranam) with a vision of the cosmic dance - Mukti tandavam here.
This shrine is also referred to as Palaasavanam, Bhrammapuri, Agnistalam and Neelakudi.
One of the important features of the temple is that the Vilva leaf (Bilwa Leaf) seen here is 5 in number, which is quite unique.
Worship to Lord Sukran
Six worship services are offered daily. Fridays are considered auspicious to pray Lord Sukra. Sukran, the next most beneficial planet after Guru (Brihaspati), bestows his devotees with wealth and prosperity. If in a person's horoscope, Sukra is well placed, then the person enjoys better life and wealth. Lord Sukran is offered with white Lotus, white cloth, diamond, 'mochai' powder and athi to remove any obstacles in life and work caused by a misplaced Sukra (Sukira Dhosham) in a person’s horoscope.
Temple Festivals
A festival to honor Haradatta Sivacharyar is celebrated in the Tamil month of Thai every year. Besides, Mahasivaratri, Aadi Pooram, Navaratri, and Arudra Darisanam are also celebrated with much importance.

the fierce vaishnavas, named as Vasudevar, who belong
-ed to 'Kasiyaba Gothiram', that is one of the divisions
in Vaishnavism. The child was named as Sudharsan and
strange things had happened as he grew up. When he
spoke, the very first word had been, none other than
Shiva Shiva. When the child about to walk, he first
went to Lord 'Agneeswarar' temple, Kanjanur.

Thanjavur Temple Tour Video Travelogue - Part 2/4
After my 12th Standard board exams finished in March, 2007, mom, dad and me undertook a tour of more than 30-40 temples in and around Thanjavur and Thiruvarur districts, Tamilnadu, India. This hour-long video, one in a series of four, is a compilation of what we were able to capture using a Sony handycam, during the tour. So, this is a Temple Tour Video Travelogue of sorts.
Swamimalai, one of the six Holy Sites for Lord Subrahmanya, gets a special mention, and festivals such as Soora Samhaaram, Theppa Kulam and Golden Chariot are captured, since that is where the three of us ended up staying for the next two years.
Also noteworthy of mention is that this tour covered all the nine Navagraha temples - Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Kethu.
We have also covered all three Great Living Chola Temples - Thanjavur, Dharasuram and Gangai Konda Cholapuram, all three UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Welcome to the Kanjanur Shiva temple!
Lord Shiva and Parvathi at Kanjanur are worshipped as Lord Agneeswara and Karpaga Valli Amman. This vortex is the sixth significant temple among the Navgrahas. Lord Shukra - Venus rules your luck factor, prosperity, abundance, riches and assets. It is a belief that Lord Shiva himself incarnated as Venus at Kanjanur. A special feature of the lingam here is that it absorbs all the oil poured over it during the abhishekam. Also, Shakthi is seen towards right side of Shiva. In most temples, it is the vice-versa.
The temple has two sanctums with a five-tier temple tower in the entrance. River Kaveri flows from the south to north at Kanjanur and faces the temple tower. This is why, the temple tower here faces the south direction, as well. The temple and the river Kaveri face each other. This is a highlight at Kanjanur.
There is a separate shrine in this temple where lord Venus waits for his devotees to perform rituals to him and to fix their birth charts for a weekly placed Venus. He is the son of sage Bruhu and so called upon as Bhargavan, the name by itself means that he is open to the requests of his devotees. He is the yogakaraka or the fortune giver. The good effects showered to you from the other planets in the navgraha is intensified by the one and only fortune giver Venus.
There is also the Nataraja Sabha which is called the mukthi mandapam, where the dancing lord bestowed the vision of his cosmic dance to the rishi. The statue of Lord Nataraja is carved in stone, this is a very unique site.
There is also another legend that Haradattasivachariya, a Vedic seer, who is into publishing daiva sidhantha, a Vedic religious philosophy attained his divine powers at this vortex. It is said that Lord Maha Vishnu incarnated his Haradatta in a vaishnavait family, grew old, and supported the Vedic heritance of the shivaites.These divine place were inacted to bring about equality among the mankind. To mark the importance of Haradattasivacharya, he blesses the people of this temple in the form of five-year old boy with Dhakshinamurthy in his sanctum. There are many legends and famous celestial events that have taken place in the Ganesha sanctum at this temple. It is said that there was an old lady called Karpagam Nachiar who practiced the habit of offering modhagam, a sweet snack to Lord Ganesha at this temple. Appeased by her fervent devotion, Lord Ganesha is said to have accepted her offerings and also lifted her to Kailash with his trunk to visit Shiva and Parvati.
Usually, Lord Shukra at Kanjanur is offered with white lotus, white clothes and diamonds to appease him. He is the son of sage Bruhu and is called Bhargavan. Shanti Homas and poojas are the part of day to day celebrations at Kanjanur temple. Maasi Magam,a festival related to Haradattasivacharya is celebrated with pomp and gaiety at this power vortex during the Tamil month of Thai, which marks in between January and February. The first Friday of every month is considered very auspicious and holy and is dedicated to Lord Shukra with divine chants and hymns.
