Shani Dev


Shani Dev



Shani Dev is a son of Surya Devta (Sun) and Chhaya (Suvarna). Lord Shani Dev is the brother of Yama Dev (deity of death). He is generally depicted in dark complexion, clothed in black. Shani Graha have a seventh place among navagraha. In Sanskrit Shani is called Sanischara, which means, "slow mover". Shani spends 2.5 years in each rashi. When we add the 2.5 years in previous and 2.5 years in next rashi together, the time period of 7.5 years is called Saadasaati Panoti.
