Located at a distance of 18km from Kumbakonam, this temple is one of the nine navagragha temple dedicated to Planet Venus(Sukran). Here the Lord name is Agneeshwarar and Ambal is Karpagam. Its a very old temple and people visit this temple especially on Fridays to seek blessings from Lord Sukran for marriage and wealth wishes. The priests are very kind and will do proper archanai(poojas) . You may need to get archanai ticket if incase you’re doing it. There seems to be very less buses connecting the temple. Better to take taxi and check other temples near to it. You wont find any restaurants nearby but small shops that cook and normal tiffen items. If you’re a lover of old and calm temples, you can definitely visit this one.

Shukra Dev (Venus) temple 1 of the Nava graha temple in Mayilaaduthurai area.Around 2.5 km from Sun temple(Suryanar koil) in Aaduthurai. Little inside from main routes. Autos (100rs) available from Aaduthurai and from Sun temple. U can offer lamps(100rs) and do archana(100 to 200 depending on items ) to Sukra dev. Lamps and Archana sets( coconuts, mala, banana, vettila, dress etc) available infront of the main gate, in small shops. When I visited, the main poojaari was singing the mantras/prayers very nicely, very nice to hear!

PEOPLE WHO CONSIDER THEMSELVES GREATER THAN THE DEITY HIMSELF We could nowhere find the name of the king, who built this magnificent temple, but the saddest part is that these people who, built temporary sheds on people's money (MP fund) and take greatest pride (Cheap advertisement) to focus themselves as if they built the whole temple by themselves.

The temple is one of the Navagraha stala in Tamil Nadu. Dedicated to Shukra graha.

It's an ancient temple of Lord Venus (Shukrudu). There are a few lanes inside the main temple where it's pitch dark and you can actually sense how old the temple is. It's fascinating!!

Ancient temple, dedicated to planet venus. HRCE could have maintained the temple better.

one of the nava graha temple and Very famous temple. The main god of the temple is sukran(venus), along with agneeswar and Ambal.. devotees prefer to come Friday's bcos on that you can see special pooja's for sukra bhagavan..

As the name suggests you can feel little hot in front of Agneeswarar. This is the god Venus. But this temple need more renavert work. It is opening by 7 Am every morning.

A great devotional place we get complete peace. Temple administration becomes business including iyers.

No proper parking space. Bad road. Exorbitantly priced Pooja items. People ready to cheat and extract money from you in the name of different poojas. If you visit the temple, just go to the temple and see the God directly avoiding middle men. No importance for general public.

A wonderful experience, only God has to be kind to give us an opportunity to visit this temple. I as a North Indian would only advise that one must be accompanied by a native of Tamil Nadu to help you connect to the rituals and the pujaris.

Opening time 6 to 1 pm and 4pm to 6pm.dont buy aarchanai plate outside because it's costlier instead of that you can buy it from the entrance of the temple aarchanai thaatu price is 50 rupees

One of the Navagraha temple in kumbakonam area. You can get blessing from god sukura for wealth.

Temple dedicated to Sukra dev and lord Shiva is named as Agneeswarar. The structure is pretty old and can be renovated for a better look. Lord Shukra is the god of marriage, wealth & many good things. Having a darshan of him at this special place shall bring good luck to all. It's a pretty small village and the roads are very narrow.

Good vibes and had good Dharshan. Temple is very famous but no regular bus service, proper road, Fees for temples is ₹150/- but illegal hawkers demand money in name of Pooja around 50/- for kumkum, 101/- for iyer plate dhakshan, 50/- for prasatham bag & 50/- for car parking.

Sri Agneeswarar Temple under renovation it seems. A dedicated shrine for Lord Venus (Sukran/ Sukiran) one of the nine planets (Navagrahathil ondru). Beware of shopkeepers, they says lot of customs to be followed in the shrine to make/ lure you buy many unnecessary things. 🙏

Very Nice and big temple. Many vendors around
