Significance of Sani Trayodashi
The Krishna Paksha Trayodasi (13th lunar day of the waning fortnight) that falls on a Saturday is known as Sani Trayodashi—a day considered extremely auspicious for the worship of Lord Saneeswara (Shani Bhagawan).
According to the scriptures, performing Sani Tailabhishekam and Puja on this day helps pacify Lord Shani and remove the difficulties caused by Saturn’s influence.
At Hari Hara Kshethram, devotees offer sesame oil, black sesame seeds, jaggery, and oil lamps with sincere devotion, seeking divine grace and spiritual balance.
Spiritual Benefits of Sani Trayodashi Puja
Performing Sani Abhishekam and observing Sani Trayodashi Vrat is believed to bring:
- Relief from Shani Dosha and karmic hardships
- Longevity (Aayush) and sound health
- Wealth, stability, and protection from negative influences
- Victory over enemies and mental peace
Devotees who experience Sani Maha Dasa, Antardasa, or Ellanati Sani (Saade Sati) find this observance especially beneficial. The sincere performance of Tailabhishekam helps turn Saturn’s energy from challenging to protective.
