Stones

After visiting the "Green" Hanuman at Dundigal, there was no one in the temple too who can clarify the English term for Maragatha. Here is a quick clarification of all 9 stones (Navrathna) - The Tamil & English Names.

  • Vaira - Diamond
  • Maanikka - Ruby
  • Maragatha - Emerald
  • Vidruma - Coral
  • Muthu - Pearl
  • Neela - Sapphire
  • Gomedagaa - Garnet
  • Pushparaaga- Topaz
  • Vaidurya - Cat's eye
There is some other info available about the stones here.
