🌳 Peepal Tree Puja on Saturday — Ancestral Peace & Shani Blessings
Peepal is called "Vata-Ashvattha" — abode of Brahma (roots), Vishnu (trunk) and Shiva (leaves). Saturday worship removes both Pitru Dosha and Shani Dosha.
🔱 The Connection Between Peepal and Shani
🌱 Pitru devatas reside in Peepal
🌱 Special relation between Shani and Ashvattha — Shani's gaze falls on Peepal on Saturday
🌱 Peepal worship on Shanishchari Amavasya is supremely fruitful
🌱 Offering black sesame-water at Peepal equals Shani tarpan
