Day 2

Kumbakonam – Thirunallaru – Kumbakonam

Morning begins with a visit to the Raagu temple at Tirunageswaram Sri Naganathaswamy Temple. This temple is unique as it features Lord Rahu with a human face, and during milk Abhishekam, the milk poured over Lord Rahu's idol turns blue, considered a miraculous event that draws devotees from afar. It's believed to mitigate the malefic effects of Rahu. Next, head to the Saneeswara Temple (dedicated to Saturn) in Thirunallar. Although Lord Shiva is the primary deity, the temple is renowned for Lord Saneeswaran (Saturn), who acts as the doorkeeper to Shiva. Seeking blessings from Saneeswaran is said to allow devotees to see Lord Shiva. Saneeswaran's Abhayahastha posture signifies his blessings upon devotees. In the afternoon, visit the Kethu temple at Keezhaperumpallam. Here, Lord Shiva is the main deity, while Lord Kethu is depicted with a human body and a serpent's head. Special offerings such as Lilly flowers, horse gram (Kollu), and multicolored cloths are made to Lord Kethu. Return to Kumbakonam for an overnight stay.

Day 3

Kumbakonam – Vaitheeswarankoil – Kumbakonam

Morning drive to Vaitheeswaran Koil and visit the Sevvai temple dedicated to Mars. This temple is renowned for its association with Angarakan (Mars). Offering red-colored clothes, fruits, and lentils to Angarakan is believed to mitigate the ill effects of planetary transitions. In the afternoon, visit the Budhan temple dedicated to Mercury at Thiruvenkadu. Budhan is associated with wisdom and intellect among the Nine Planets. Worshipping Budhan on Wednesdays is said to rectify Bhuda Dhosham and alleviate issues like difficulties in studies, mental instability, and nervous disorders.
