Raaghu Peyarchi Festival at Thirunageswaram Raghu Temple - Rahu Transit Festival at Raghu Temple near Kumbakonam

Thirunageswaram Raghu Temple, or Sri Naganathaswamy Temple (Sri Raaghu Sthalam), at Thirunageswaram near Kumbakonam in Tamil Nadu is one of the rare temples in India dedicated exclusively to Lord Rahu one of the Navgrahas. Rahu Peyarchi is the transition of Rahu and Ketu as per astrology. Such transitions, or Peyarachi, are viewed in detail by those people who believe in astrology.

Lord Raaghu (The Serpant Deity) is enshrined in the Thirunageswaram Raghu Temple. It is said that the milk that is poured on the Murti (idol) of Lord Rahu here turns light blue color.

Lord Raaghu's transit from Mahara Rasi to Thanusu Rasi in anti clockwise direction and His stay in Dhanusu for 18 Months is a major astrological temple.

Offering of prayers and participation in the above mentioned rituals at the lotus feet of Lord Raaghu will confer relief from sickness and evil spirits and bestow benefits.

The temple informs that the transition will have bad effect on those born in Rishabam, Mithunam, Kanni, Dhanusu, Kumbam and Meenam should perform Dosha Parikharams.
