So, let's explore the dos and don'ts of Saturday (Shaniwar Rules).

What to do on Saturday? (Shaniwar Dos)

  • Lighting a mustard oil lamp under a Peepal tree on Saturday evening is considered very auspicious. This provides relief from the sufferings of Saturn's Sade Sati and Dhaiya.
  • Donate black sesame seeds, black cloth, black lentils, or iron on this day. Always donate to someone in need.
  • Shani Dev had promised Hanumanji that he would never cast an evil eye on his devotees. Therefore, recite the Hanuman Chalisa or Sunderkand on Saturdays. This reduces the effects of Shani Dosh.
  • Shani Dev is the god of justice and is pleased with those who help the helpless. Therefore, feed the needy.
  • If Saturn is in auspicious position in your horoscope, then wear an iron ring on the middle finger as per the advice of an astrologer.
