The ruling planets have always had a significant place in Indian rituals and tradition. This temple is dedicated to the nine ruling planets (Navagraha means nine planets). It is located on the Triveni Ghat, by the Shipra River.

Navagraha Mandir is located away from the old site of Ujjaini town. It attracts large crowds on new moon days falling on Saturdays. Its religious importance has increased manifold through the years, though there is no acknowledged reference to it in the ancient texts.
