According to Harivansha Purana moon was the handsome son of Sage Atri and was nurtured by the ten Dishas(directions). Moon married the daughters of Daksha Prajapati. They were 27 in number. The names of these daughters are the 27 Nakshatras of the Zodiac. Moon visits each of them for one day in rotation. But he showed Rohini, one of the 27th wives undue favors. He also ran away with the Wife of Brihaspati the Deva Guru. Daksh the father in law cursed Moon to suffer from consumption, a gradual decay.

The Moon reflects the Sun’s light according to the lunar phases, reminding the Earth that, on Purnima (the full Moon) the mind is fully reflecting the light of the soul and on Amavasya (the new Moon) the body, (represented by the Earth) is blocking the light from reaching the mind.

In like manner, creativity is influenced by the Moon cycles. Amavasya represents the moment of creation, when the sperm meets the egg. Purnima is the fructification of that seed. The Moon’s tidal influence is also responsible for controlling the flow of water which provides growth and healing as well as the medicinal potency of plants and herbs.

One of the famous temple of Moon/Chandra/Soma is Hindu temple in the village of Thingalur, 33 kilometres (21 mi) from Kumbakonam on the Kumbakonam - Thiruvayyar road in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The presiding deity is Soma (moon). However, the main idol in the temple is that of Kailasanathar or Shiva. The temple is considered one of the nine Navagraha temples in Tamil Nadu. Thingalur is the birth place of Appothi Adigal an ardent devotee of saint Thirunavukkarasar, though the temple has no assets related to the saint.

When we decide to visit all temples then we hired one Local Guide to show all temples and he shown all Navagraha Temples in one day (our journey started at morning 7.00am to night 9.00pm and he dropped to our destination) to my entire team and charged very normal price.  I am totally impressed with his attitude and his support to public those are visit to temples.  If you are decided to visit to Navagraha Darshan at Tamil Nadu then you contact and hire this guy he is very good, familiar and he know the Tamil, Hindi & English Languages.  Because first time when I visited that time I suffered from language and locality problem, that’s why I am suggesting.  So, visit the temple and take blessings from Surya Narayana.
