In all mythology, he is the most unbiased God, and has no factor of sympathy. He makes sure that the evil is punished, and that the good is paid. So, like Lord Shani watches you, "think before you act!"

Citizens perform various Pujas to satisfy him. Shani Amavasya is considered the best day for Lord Shani to be appeased and to take a piece of good fortune for a successful life. Hence this is the day believers from all around the world go to Shani Mandir to offer their prayers to the Lord
