Why no Navagraha in Sri Vishnu Temples?
1) Vaishnava follows single god worship on Lord Maha Vishnu and pray only Vishnu and the parampara deities. Also the Nirthyasuries, Alwars and Sri Ramanujacharya like Gurus. No place for Navagrahas. Vaishna believe by praying Lord Narayana one can get Navagrahas blessings. Vaisnava treat all other deitys as limited power Devatas.

Sri Lakshmi

Sri Vishwaksenar
Garuda, Anjaneya
All Alwars,
Sri Ramanuja
Sri Vedanta Desika
Sri Manavala Mamunigal
2) No Alwar sang in praise of Lord Maha Vishnu only and not on any Navagraha. Where as Kolaru Pathigam was composed by Thirugnyaana Sambandhar and thus Sivan temples have Navagraha Sannithis.
3) Sri Vishnu temples are constructed based on Vaikanasa and Panjaratra Agamas. Navagraha shrine inside a Vishnu temple is not provided in these Agamas.
4) Many small recently constructed Sri Visnu temples have Navagraha shrines here and there. But among 108 Divya Desam temples one temple has a separate sannadhi for Navagrahas.
Sri Koodal Azhagar Perumal Temple, Madurai has this distinction!
