First of all, I would like to tell you about the eastern part of Shani Dham. On the top of it, the eight metalled largest radiant Shani idol has been erected. This Idol attracts the visitors from far away. The main door of this eastern part falls in the west side. The ‘Vastu’ of this part makes a visitor wonder struck for few moments. As soon as one enters into the main door, he prospects the huge radiate idol of Lord Shani and the Shani rock too. On North and south, both sides there are Shani statues erected, wherein Shani Maharaj ji is riding over his various rides. Prospecting these beautiful radiant Statues of Lord Shani, the visitor is strongly attracted and remains undone. On the left and the right sides of Shani Shila (Rock) the Statues of Bhairav Dev are established. Prospecting these statues the visitors get deprived of their sins, committed by them since the long-long births.
Those who visit the temple for the worship of Lord Shani, they Should enchant the Mantra ‘Om Sham Shanishcharaya Nameh’, ‘Om Pram Preem Prom Se Shanishcharaya Nameh’, ‘Om Sham Shanishcharaya Nameh’ or the plasm (Strotra) by King Dashratha, while circumambulating the ‘Shila Murty’. Thereafter they should offer Poojan Samagri (Pooja Material) at the Statue of Lord Shani. Keeping in view to the convenience of the devotees visiting Shree Shani Dham and maintaining the purity and cleanliness, as also keeping in view, the security norms, under the present changing circumstances Pujan Samagari for Worshipping Lord Shani is made available in the premises of Ashram itself. All of you are requested that any Samagri brought from outside the temple premises should not be taken inside. Please co-operate us to maintain the discipline. Get a Pooja Thali from the room near by, taking these offerings go to the Prime ‘Shani Pratima’ and put each material in the relevant pot meant for this. ‘Swallow-Wort’ (Aak) leaf and Shani yantra be offered at the feet of Lord Shani. Now come down at Shani Shila and lit the lamp and offer ‘dhoop’ also. Besides this, circumambulate Shani Shila for eight times. Black grams, weighing one and a quarter of Kilo must be dipped into water, on the Friday night. After cooking them well and putting salt, chilies and oil over it, these grams may be distributed throughout your way from home to temple. It makes Lord Shani pleased and the devotee gets rid of all his troubles.
