Lord Shani is the deity of justice, discipline, and karma (actions and consequences). He is often depicted as a dark-complexioned deity riding a chariot pulled by crows or vultures. He is known for his strict and impartial nature, administering justice and delivering the fruits of one's actions. Although feared by many due to his association with hardships and suffering, Lord Shani is also believed to be a great teacher who guides individuals towards spiritual growth and enlightenment.

On Shani Jayanti, devotees of Lord Shani observe various rituals and practices to seek his blessings and alleviate the effects of any negative influences associated with Saturn in their lives.
