Navagrahas
Navagrahas means 9 planets. According to Vedic astrology the position of these planets among 12 houses determine the potential of a person. Traditionally Hindus wordship Navgrahas to overcome obstacles and bad luck. Hence, we find Navagrahas in all the temples.
Navagrahas are named after 7 of the celestial bodies in our solar system and two are demons known as Rahu and Ketu.
