Shani Shanti puja is performed on Saturday evening, ideally during Pradosh Kala. The hours after sunset on Saturday are most effective for Saturn remedies.
On this sacred Saturday, I perform Shani Graha Shanti puja to pacify Saturn and seek relief from Sade Sati, Dhaiyya, delays, and karmic debts.
Bathe in the evening with black sesame mixed in water. Wear clean dark blue or black clothes. Saturn demands discipline and humility.
Sit facing west (Saturn's direction). Hold water with black sesame in the right palm. State your name, gotra, and intention to pacify Shani graha.
Place an iron vessel filled with mustard oil and black sesame on a bed of urad dal. Cover with dark blue or black cloth. This represents Saturn's energy.
Invoke Shani Deva by lighting the mustard oil lamp. Offer blue/purple flowers and black sesame. Recite "Om Shanaischaraya Namah" three times.
Chant the Shani Beej Mantra 23,000 times (or 108 times minimum). Use an iron or dark rudraksha mala. Meditate on a deep blue-black orb representing Saturn's transformative power.
Shani Beej Mantra
ॐ प्रां प्रीं प्रौं सः शनैश्चराय नमः
Pour mustard oil over the Shani image or an iron nail/horseshoe while chanting the Shani Gayatri. This is a powerful Saturn-specific offering.
Shani Gayatri Mantra
ॐ काकध्वजाय विद्महे खड्गहस्ताय धीमहि । तन्नो मन्दः प्रचोदयात् ॥
Donate black sesame, iron items, and mustard oil to the poor. Feeding crows (Saturn's vahana) with urad dal preparations is highly recommended. Serve the elderly and disabled.
Pray to Shani Deva for patience, endurance, and karmic relief. Accept Saturn's lessons with humility. Perform namaskar and share prasad.
Shani Beej Mantra
ॐ प्रां प्रीं प्रौं सः शनैश्चराय नमः
oṃ prāṃ prīṃ prauṃ saḥ śanaiścarāya namaḥ
Salutations to Saturn (the slow mover). The seed syllables invoke Shani's disciplining energy for karmic purification, patience, and spiritual maturity.

oṃ kākadhvajāya vidmahe khaḍgahastāya dhīmahi | tanno mandaḥ pracodayāt ||
We meditate on the one with the crow banner (Shani), who holds a sword. May Saturn inspire discipline, patience, and karmic wisdom in us.
