marked as birth
anniversary of Lord
Shani. Shani Jayanti is
also known as Shani
Amavasya. Lord Shani
is son of Lord
Suryadev and rules
planet Saturn and
weekday Saturday.
Shani Jayanti is
observed on Amavasya
Tithi during Jyaishta
month according to
North Indian Purnimant
calendar. According to
South Indian
Amavasyant calendar
Shani Jayanti falls on
Amavasya Tithi during
Vaishakha month. It is
name of Lunar month
which differs and in
both type of calendars
Shani Jayanti falls on
the same day.
Shani Jayanti coincides
with Vat Savitri Vrat
which is observed
during Jyaishta
Amavasya in most
North Indian states. On
Shani Jayanti devotees
keep fast or Upvaas to
propitiate Lord Shani
and visit Shani temples
to seek blessing of Lord
Shani. It is believed that
Lord Shani believes in
fair justice and if
appeased blesses His
devotee with good luck
and fortune. People,
who don't have blessing
of Lord Shani, toil for
years without getting
any reward for their
hard work in life.
Shani Jayanti is very
appropriate day to
perform Hawan,
Homam and Yagya to
appease Lord Shani.
Shani
Tailabhishekam and
Shani Shanti Puja.
