About this puja
This Sukra Archana is offered at Agneeswarar Temple, Kanjanur, where Shiva himself is honoured as Sukra, the planet Venus. The temple's priests perform it with your gotra and up to four names, plus birth stars if you share them, in the sankalp. Either the temple receipt or a confirmation message is shared on WhatsApp once it is done.
What is Sukra (Venus) Archana?
Sukra Archana is an archana to Sukra, the planet Venus, at Kanjanur, the Navagraha temple linked with him. The Kaveri delta has nine such temples, each tied to one graha. There is no separate Sukra shrine here; Shiva as Agneeswarar is himself honoured as the graha. The priest therefore chants Sukra's names and mantras before Agneeswarar, offering flowers. Your name, gotra and birth star open the rite in the sankalp, its formal dedication.
Why devotees book it
- A prayer for harmony and affection in marriage, since tradition links Sukra with marriage
- Seeking Sukra's blessing for comfort at home and for work in the arts
- Prayers for planetary peace, or graha shanti, when Sukra's dasha or a Venus transit brings a hard season
- A wedding anniversary prayer for the couple and the years ahead
When to book
Friday, the weekday of Sukra, is the traditional day for this archana. A wedding anniversary is a natural occasion too, as are a Venus transit and a birthday by birth star. Your booking is followed by a WhatsApp message from our team to set the date.
