🕉️ Shani Trayodashi — June 27, 2026
Saturday Pradosh — the greatest day for Rin Mukti (debt liberation). Dual puja of Shiva + Shani.
🪐 Why is Shani Shiva's Disciple?
According to the scriptures, Shani meditated on Lord Shiva even from Chhaya's womb. At birth, Shani received Shiva's blessing. Pradosh Kala — Shiva's most beloved time — is also the most powerful hour for Shani puja. Saturday Pradosh therefore amplifies both blessings 100×.
