Structure & Presiding Deity

The Shani Yantra is typically a numerical grid (a Saturn magic square) inscribed with the planet's bija mantra, designed to pacify Shani's influence and reduce the severity of Sadhesati, Dhaiya and other Shani-related doshas.

Installation & Puja Vidhi

Installed in the puja room facing west, worshipped on Saturdays with mustard oil, black sesame and a lamp lit with til (sesame) oil. Believed to reduce hardship during Shani's transits and bring discipline and justice-related benefits.
