Navagraha temples in Solar System layout (Grahas and Planets)
Our ancestors has found the grahas - Sun,Mercury,Moon(satellite), Rahu and kethu (lunar nodes),Venus, Jupiter, Saturn,Mars and mapped them in to seven days of a week and Rahu n kethu into rahukaalam and Kuligai. In 17th century, Galileo invented telescope then science has found Uranus,Neptune,Pluto and more in the space.
I've tried to replicate the telescopic view of the planets for each grahas. A temple cutout and navagraha kolam is also placed. Each graha is border with the respective stones (navarathina karkal)
