🌳 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
