Shani Shingnapur is not like other pilgrimage centers, as it offers the devotees an opportunity to perform Puja or abhishek or other religious rituals themselves. This specific trait often draws a good number of devotees here. Being famous for Shani Dev, it catches the attention of a infinite devotee, seeking the blessings of Shani God.
The spectacle of the deity in black stone is overwhelming. A unique aspect of this place is, that no temple structure houses the Shanidev. According to legend about 156 years ago, the Shani idol came flowing along with the flood waters and was later installed by the villagers after hearing a divine voice. The residents of this village have never installed doors to their houses & shops. Nor do they have a fettish for keeping things locked as the residents live with the singular belief that Lord Shaneshwar (Saturn) protects them from thieves and other ills.
Shani Puja is often carried out to pacify planet Saturn. It is a common notion among the devotees that Shani Puja or worship of Saturn alleviates the sufferings one might have to go through during the bad times. The same Puja service is also suggested to people who comprise Saade Sati of Shani in their horoscope.
