At the Gneelivaneswarar Temple located at Thirupaingneeli,20kms from Trichy on the Trichy - Thuraiyur route, there is no shrine for Navagraha(nine planets). Instead there are 9 oil lamp sized pits in front of the Nandhi where oil is poured and lit up. The nine lights are worshipped as the Navagraha. This is a popular temple where prayers are offered to remedy delay in marriage.A shrine to Yama, depicted as a child, where rituals for Sashtiyapthapoorthi and Ayush Homam are performed, is yet another interesting aspect of this temple.
