• Shirdi Shanishinganapur Shani Temple

The temple of Shani in Shinganapur is located
between Shirdi and Aurangabad. This self evolved
idol called Swayambhu is an age old black stone
idol which emerged from earth and was noticed by
a shepherd from nearby village.

When the shepherd touched the stone it started
bleeding. On the same night Lord Shanaishwara
appeared in the dreams of many shepherds and told
them that the black stone is nothing but his own
swayambhu form. The shepherds asked the lord
about constructing a temple at the place. Shani
dev declined about constructing a roof but told
the shepherds to perform daily Pooja and
Tailabhisheka on every Saturday. This is the
reason behind not constructing a roof or a proper
temple at Shinganapur. The idol of Shani is kept
on an open platform. The lord also promised the
shepherds that the hamlet will be protected by
him from thieves and dacoits.

This can be experienced even today at Shani
Shinganapur village where the houses, shops and
temples within the periphery of one km from the
Shani temple are having no doors and ultimately
no locks. On a few occasions when someone tried
to steal things he died by vomiting blood. This
has proved the truth in the belief and a fear of
Shani Dev which keeps the thieves and the
burglars away from the thoughts of attempting
robbery in this village. There is a common belief
that lord Shani is stricter and once he starts
harassing a person the person suffers from many
problems in life.

To keep oneself away from the bad sight of Shani,
people visit the nearby Shani temples or Hanuman
temples on Saturdays and offer an oil bath to
the idol. Shani Shinganapur is visited by hordes
of devotees praying for Lord Shanis favor. It is
advisable and more convenient for the devotees
who are visiting Shirdi to extend their visit to
the Shani temple at Shinganapur. Shirdi to Shani
Shinganapur is just a matter of seventy four km
and can be conveniently travelled by road.

Best time to visit this Shani temple is on
Saturday and the other favorite day is the Shani
Trayodasi. If it is a combination of Saturday and
Amavasya in a single day then it is the best time
to visit Shani Shinganapur. After visiting Shirdi
the most revered pilgrim of Maharashtra you can
also visit the places near Shirdi like Shani
Shinganapur and get the blessings of the most
powerful god. At the same time you can keep
yourself away from what is called as Shani Pida
