I find it odd that according to Sri Vaishnavam, navagrahas are not worshiped including omission of navagrahas in SV temples, but to find that Sri Rama consecrate navagrahas in a sthala...
Any opinions, interesting observations, or clarifications on this one?
Regards.
Namaste Viraja Ji,
I did not know where Devi Pattinam is located.I think there may be two reasons for Lord Rama to consecrate the sthala.
1.Lord Sri Rama was born in Surya Vamsha and Lord Surya Graha was his Kula Devata.So Lord Rama must have installed the Navagraha Devata temple in honor of his family deity.
2.Sri Vaishnava Sampradaya was established some centuries ago whereas Lord Rama lived some hundreds of thousands of years ago in Treta Yuga.
