Shani Puja

Shani Puja is performed to seek the blessings of Lord Shani (Saturn), the planet of karma, discipline, justice, and life lessons in Vedic astrology. Shani is known as the “Karmaphal Data” — the giver of results based on one’s actions.

When Saturn is unfavorably placed in the birth chart or during Sade Sati, Dhaiya, or Shani Mahadasha, a person may experience delays, financial instability, health problems, career struggles, legal issues, or emotional stress. However, when Shani is favorable, it grants stability, success, authority, and long-term achievements.

Shani Puja helps reduce the malefic effects of Saturn and strengthens its positive influence through mantra chanting, oil offerings, havan, and structured Vedic rituals.
