โซ Til-Urad Dana on Saturday โ Shani's Most Beloved Offering
Black sesame and urad dal are Shani Dev's most beloved offerings. Donating these pleases Shani and reduces suffering during Sade Sati and Dhaiya.
๐ Scriptural Reason โ Why Black Sesame and Urad?
Shani's signs Capricorn and Aquarius โ both Tamas-dominant
Black is Shani's colour โ both sesame and urad are black
Sesame is connected to Pitru tarpan โ Shani is the Pitru significator
Urad is a "heavy" grain โ matches Shani's slow and heavy nature
Shani is deity of the servant class โ donating to servants is best
