About this collection, Sade Sati and how to perform Shanivar puja
Shani Dev is the cosmic judge, the à€šà„à€Żà€Ÿà€Żà€Ÿà€§à„à€¶ who rewards patience, honesty and discipline. His blessings are sought during Sade Sati, the seven-and-a-half year Saturn transit that crosses three rashis, and Dhaiya, the two-and-a-half year transit that affects one rashi at a time. In 2026 Saturn is transiting Pisces (Meen rashi), so Aries (Mesh), Aquarius (Kumbh) and Pisces (Meen) are currently in active Sade Sati phases.
Shanivar (Saturday) puja kits: The Shani Dev Pooja Box (AED 150) is a complete Saturday ritual kit. Add the Shani Dev Statue (AED 50), plus mauli, kumkum, haldi, dhoop and an akhand diya from this collection.
Daily seva, reading and gifting: The pocket-size Shree Shani Chalisa paperback (AED 15) is the easiest way to start a daily practice or gift to someone going through Sade Sati. Round out your pooja thali with sacred supari, kauri shells, kamalgatta seeds, ekakshi nariyal and Gangajal.
How to perform Shanivar puja at home
After a bath on Saturday morning, face west or south and place a clean cloth on your altar.
Set the Shani Yantra and statue, light a mustard-oil diya, and offer black sesame (til), one supari and a fresh flower.
Chant the Shani Beej Mantra "à„ à€¶à€ à€¶à€šà„à€¶à„à€à€°à€Ÿà€Ż à€šà€źà€" 108 times on your Karungali mala.
Read the Shani Chalisa, offer naivedya (typically urad dal kichdi or jaggery), and complete with aarti.

Shani Dev is the Vedic deity of the planet Saturn, son of Surya (the Sun) and Chhaya. He is the cosmic judge who delivers the fruits of every action - karma phaladata - and is the ruling deity of Makar (Capricorn) and Kumbh (Aquarius) rashis. Saturday (Shanivar) is the day dedicated to his worship.
What is Sade Sati and how long does it last?
Sade Sati is the seven-and-a-half year transit of Saturn through three rashis - the one before, the same as, and the one after your moon sign (janma rashi). It is divided into three phases of 2.5 years each. Sade Sati is best supported with regular Shanivar puja, mantra jaap and daana.
Which rashis are under Sade Sati in 2026?
Saturn is transiting Pisces (Meen) in 2026, so Aries (Mesh) is in the first phase, Pisces (Meen) is at peak (second phase), and Aquarius (Kumbh) is in the third and easing phase. Capricorn (Makar) and Sagittarius (Dhanu) are not in Sade Sati this year.
When is Shani Jayanti 2026?
Shani Jayanti 2026 falls on Saturday, May 16. The Jyeshtha Amavasya tithi runs from 5:11 am on May 16 to 1:30 am on May 17. Because the day is both Shanivar and Amavasya, the puja is considered especially powerful for clearing Shani dosh and Sade Sati effects.
What do I need for a basic Shanivar puja at home?
A Shani Dev statue or yantra, a mustard-oil diya, black sesame (til), mauli, kumkum, haldi, one supari, a fresh flower and Gangajal cover the essentials. The Shani Dev Pooja Box at Divine Sansar packs all of this together. Add a Karungali mala if you want to chant the Shani Beej Mantra.
Which mantra is chanted on the Karungali mala?
The most common chant is the Shani Beej Mantra: "à„ à€¶à€ à€¶à€šà„à€¶à„à€à€°à€Ÿà€Ż à€šà€źà€". A complete round on the 108-bead Karungali mala counts as one mala. Practitioners typically do one to three malas every Saturday, and a longer jaap on Shani Jayanti and during Sade Sati.
What is the difference between sacred black thread and Karungali mala?
The sacred black thread is worn on the wrist or ankle as a protective talisman associated with Shani Dev and Hanuman ji. The Karungali mala is a 108-bead chanting tool made from black ebony wood, used to count mantra repetitions during jaap. Many devotees use both - the thread for daily protection and the mala for puja.
