Kanjanur is one of the nine Navagraha located in the Cauvery region dedicated to the planet Venus, called Sukran. The place is famous for many reasons. Shiva’s marriage with Parvathi had taken place here. Agni is said to have worshipped Shiva here.
The oil Abishekam poured on the main Shiva lingam is absorbed by the idol which is in itself a miracle. Sukran is a powerful planet and worshipping it on Friday is considered very auspicious.
