Overview
Shani Shanti Puja for families in Nadesar
Shani Dev is revered in Jyotish as the graha of discipline, karma and justice, a teacher who rewards patience and honest effort. Shani Shanti Puja is performed to honour him and seek a smoother, steadier passage through the phases of life associated with Saturn.
Nadesar lies next to the Cantonment side of Varanasi, not far from Varanasi Junction railway station. It is one of the city's more spacious areas, with tree-lined roads, older bungalows, government offices and several well-known heritage and business hotels.

Do I need my kundali for Shani Shanti Puja?
It is not required, the puja can be done with your name and gotra. If you are unsure whether Sade Sati or Shani dasha applies to you, a qualified astrologer or our kundali consultation can help you understand your own chart.
