Shani Jayanti 2024
This year, Vat Savitri Vrat coincides with Shani Jayanti, which also falls on the Amavasya of the Jyeshtha month. It is customary to worship a black cow and offer mustard oil to Shani Dev (Saturn) on this day. Performing “chhaya daan” (offering to one’s shadow) is also recommended.
