In Hinduism, Saturday (Shanivar) is dedicated to Lord Shani Dev, the powerful deity associated with justice, karma, discipline, and the planet Saturn (Shani). Shani Dev is considered to be both a punisher and a protector - depending on one’s deeds (karma). Worshipping him with devotion on Saturdays is believed to bring relief from difficulties, especially those caused by Shani Dosh, and attract prosperity and peace. Here are 8 simple yet powerful measures that people often observe on Saturdays for to please Shani Dev:
