Shani Amavasya signifies the combination of two elements from the Panchang: Amavasya Tithi and Shani Vaar. In simple terms, Shani Amavasya occurs when Amavasya falls on a Saturday. This day is dedicated to Lord Shani Dev, the God of Justice.

Shani Amavasya is a rare occurrence that happens only a few times each year and is considered auspicious for those troubled by the negative influences of the planet Saturn. For individuals experiencing Shani Mahadasha or undergoing Sade Sati, Shani Amavasya is the most powerful day to worship and seek the blessings of Lord Shani.
