Saturn Jayanti, which will be celebrated on June 6, 2024, marks the birth anniversary of Lord Shani. This auspicious day falls on the Amavasya (new moon) of the Jyestha month each year. Lord Shani, known as the deity of justice, is believed to have the power to change one's fortunes, turning a king into a pauper and vice versa with a mere glance. His blessings are said to bring immense happiness and prosperity to those who receive them. Observing Saturn Jayanti and performing specific rituals on this day can provide relief from the adverse effects of Sade Sati and Dhaiya. Here are some of the recommended practices to observe on Saturn Jayanti:

Pour water on a Peepal tree, as it is believed to appease Lord Shani.

Chanting and Recitations:
Recite the Shani Chalisa or chant Shani mantras to mitigate the effects of Sade Sati and Dhaiya.
Devotees also read Hanuman Chalisa or Sundarakanda, as it is believed that Lord Hanuman’s devotees are shielded from Shani’s wrath.
