Why These Specific Items?
Shani is associated with black colour, iron and hard work. Urad dal, mustard oil and black sesame are Shani's three favourite substances, specifically mentioned in scriptures for Shani daan. Donating footwear softens Shani's gaze (drishti). Feeding a crow symbolises Pitru Tarpan — both Saturn and ancestors are pleased together.
