MY VISIT TO THE NABAGRAHA TEMPLE OF GUWAHATI(ASSAM).

As we mention the state of Assam in India ,the first thing that comes to our mind is theR. Brahmaputra & the famous Kamakhya temple...................... But there's another famous temple in Guwahati City ie. The NABAGRAHA temple that's dedicated to the 9 planets that governs our life's cycle......Very few of us frequent the temple that's located ontop of a hill,from were the whole Guwahati City looks very pretty. Mostly people having problem with Saturn in their  horoscope tries to make sure to visit & pray here.... Since it was our 2nd visit to the City ,I wanted to make a visit irrespective of any such believe of planetary effects....... Since the road upto the temple complex passes thru' narrow bylanes across the hill, one should start early for the darshan orelse will get stuckup in the traffic on the way itself. There's no pull/push of the pandits like that of Kamakhya temple. After purchasing the dalli( puja items including Prasad) ,we climbed up the stairs to the temple grabagraha( main temple). The 9 planets are depicted  as 9 shivling structure & placed in a circular arrangement. One can pray on their own orelse can hire a pandit to arrange for the puja. Mostly ,I saw people doing strict & elaborate puja at the Shivling depicting SATURN or SHANI God.......................... But , I preferred to do my prayers alone with heart & soul as I hardly understand those Sanskrit mantras. It was truly a great experience in whole ,So I thought to share my views with others ,who might feel good to get the divine blessing from the Nabagraha temple darshan.
