Shani Jayanti Puja & Tailabhishek

Shani Jayanti marks the birth of Shani Dev, son of Surya and Chhaya, the planet-god who gives the fruit of one's karma. Worshipping him with mustard oil, black sesame and charity on his birthday is believed to soften the hard periods of Saturn (Sade Sati and Dhaiya) and to build patience, discipline and fairness.
