Shani Dev Temple

A little beyond Vishwanath temple, a small shrine dedicated to Sanichar or Shani Dev or the planet Saturn is located. The deity within, representing the planet, exhibits a silver head, beneath which depends an apron. Shani Dev is considered as lame so moves slowly. He rides on bison. The torso of his idol is thoroughly covered with the apron. A garland of flowers hangs from either ear, falling below the chin; while above the figure a canopy is spread, designed to illustrate the majesty of the god. It is said of this deity, that, for seven years and a half, he troubles the life of men in general, but that he exempts his own worshippers from the trials and disasters which, for this period; he brings on the rest of mankind. He is worshipped by bathing Him with mustard oil. On Saturday, a large number of devotees gather here to pray and worship with rituals prescribed in tradion.
