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. All Guru Peyarchi Pooja Orders will be received till 6pm on 8th May 2011
