Shani Jayanti 2025 – How to Receive Lord Shani’s Divine Blessings

Shani Jayanti 2025 will be celebrated on the Amavasya (New Moon) of the Jyeshtha month. This sacred day marks the birth of Lord Shani, the son of Surya Dev (Sun God) and Chhaya Devi. In Vedic astrology, people often label Shani as a malefic planet. However, Shani truly serves as the deity of karma and justice. He never troubles anyone without reason and delivers results strictly based on one’s deeds.

Date of Shani Jayanti 2025

Shani Jayanti 2025 will fall on Tuesday, May 27, based on the Jyeshtha Amavasya. The Amavasya begins on May 26 at 12:11 PM and ends on May 27 at 8:31 AM. Since Amavasya will prevail during the sunrise on May 27, devotees will observe Shani Jayanti on this day. In many parts of North India, people also observe the Vat Savitri Vrat on this day.
