Saturday is dedicated to the worship of Shani Dev, the deity of justice. On this day, devout followers perform his puja (worship) with prescribed rituals and observe fasts. Shani Dev is considered the deity who bestows the fruits of one's actions. His blessings bring wealth, prosperity, and success, while his displeasure can lead to obstacles and difficulties in life.
According to astrology, the malevolent gaze of Shani Dev can cause financial losses, mental stress, and failures. Therefore, devotees offer prayers and worship to seek his grace. Offering mustard oil, blue flowers, black sesame seeds, and incense lamps, along with chanting Shani Dev's mantras, is considered particularly beneficial on this day.
