Why Should You Perform Religious Activities on Jyestha Amavasya?

Jyestha Amavasya marks a crucially important day in Hinduism as Shani Dev (Lord Shani) was born on this day. According to Hindu Mythology, Lord Shanithe God of justice in Kalyuga, is the significator of deeds, sins, and Karma. He is the Dandadhikari (Punisher) of bad Karma.

This auspicious day is also renowned as Shani Jayanti. On this day, people visit Lord Shani temples, worship him, seeking Shani Dev’s blessings. They also perform various religious activities, such as donate foods, Pind Daan, etc.

Moreover, on Shani Jayanti, another religious observance, Vrat Savitri puja, falls, which married women celebrate for their husband’s endurance.
