Navagraha Temple, Guwahati, Assam

The Navagraha Temple is found on the top of the Chitra Chal Hill (or Navagraha Hill), in Guwahati city, Assam. Enshrined in this temple are nine Shivalingams, representing the nine Celestial bodies, each covered with a colored garment symbolic of each of the celestial bodies, with a Shivalingam in the center symbolising the Sun. The Navagraha temple was built by the Ahom king Rajeswar Singha (1751-1769), son of Rudra Singha or Sukhrungphaa in late 18th century. It had been renovated in the modern times in the late 70's and 80's.

The term Navagraha temples refers to a cluster of nine separate temples, each an abode of one of the Navagrahams.

Moment I Waited For..

This is the view from my Grandmothers house, we stayed there for a couple of weeks and everyday after i woke up i always thought oh!! i again missed the shot that i waited for it was the sunrise shot.

The day came on 28 January 2010, i woke up at 5 in the morning, i was very happy that yes i got up early but waited very long and the moment came at 6.12am i was able to see the sun rising and it spread its beautiful colors in the sky as you can see in the photographs, really the start of the day was so beautiful, it really made my day.
