It is used as a convenient base for those on the astrologically propitious Navagraha pilgrimage, surrounded as it is by the main temples of the nine planets.
Kumbakonam also has the sacred Mahamaham Tank where a Kumbh festival is held once in 12 years, attracting millions of pilgrims from far and wide.
