About Shani Jayanti Puja & Abhishekam
Shani Jayanti is observed as the birth anniversary of Lord Shani (Saturn), described in scriptures as the son of Surya (the Sun) and Devi Chhaya. This day usually falls on Amavasya of the Vaishakh month. In 2025, Shani Jayanti will be observed on Tuesday, 27th May 2025. According to traditional belief, performing puja and abhishekam for Lord Shani on this day is considered especially significant. Many devotees observe fasts, chant mantras, and participate in rituals seeking blessings of discipline, patience, and justice associated with Lord Shani.
