MORE INFORMATION:
Jupiter, Brihaspati or Guru graha is the one of the most important of the Navagrahas in Vedic astrology. Brihaspati is the Guru of the Gods and is endowed with wisdom and strength. A strong and well placed Jupiter in a horoscope is considered as its biggest strength and a result of past good karma. A person who has the grace of Jupiter will be strong in many respects - education, prosperity, marital life, spirituality etc.
The Apatsahayeswara Temple at Alangudi is regarded as the Guru Sthalam or Jupiter centre where Lord Dakshinamurthy is worshipped. The Shrine attracts a large number of devotees when Jupiter transits between zodiac signs every year.

Guruvayur Krishna Temple is another sacred pilgrimage centre which is also a Guru Sthalam since Guru & Vayu are presiding deities protecting this place. Murugan devotees instantly will be drawn to the Gurusthalam amongst the Aarupadaiveedu, the famous Tiruchendur temple.Madhwa devotees can offer pooja at Sri Raghavendra Swamy Matha.

Offering a pooja at these Guru sthalams is considered as a parihara for all defects related to Jupiter.
