Surya Archana — Suryanar Kovil, near Kumbakonam
What This Remedy Does
Surya, the Sun, is the main deity of Suryanar Kovil near Kumbakonam, and Surya Archana honours him with his names and flowers. The temple's priests perform it for up to four names, with your gotra and any birth stars you share in the sankalp. Once it is done, the temple receipt or a confirmation reaches you on WhatsApp.
What is Surya Archana?
Surya Archana is a graha archana: worship of one of the nine grahas, or planets, at the temple traditionally linked with that graha. In the Kaveri delta of Tamil Nadu, each of the nine Navagraha temples is tied to one graha, and Suryanar Kovil belongs to Surya. The priest chants Surya's names and mantras and offers flowers. Your name, gotra and birth star are spoken first in the sankalp, so the archana is made on your behalf.
Why devotees book it
- Graha shanti, a prayer for planetary peace, during a difficult dasha or a Surya transit

When to book
Sundays, Surya's own weekday, and Ratha Saptami are the traditional days to worship Surya. Devotees also choose the day of a Surya transit, or peyarchi, or a birthday by birth star. You can name a preferred day at booking, and the date is finalised with you on WhatsApp.
