India is known for its diversity, culture, religion, tradition,ritual and languages . But when we talk about religion we have Buddhism, hinduism,islam, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Sikhism and Jainism. Every religion has its own unique ritual and mythologies. In hinduism, we have god's name associated with planet ( graha) , Mars ( mangal ) , venus ( shukra) , Uranus (arun) , Neptune (varun),mercury( budh) ,Pluto (yam) , Jupiter ( brihaspati) and Saturn ( shani) .Now you are thinking why I'm writing this all graha (planet ) name . Because SHANI SHINGNAPUR is the village which is guarded by shanidev ( lord Saturn) .
Shani Shingnapur is village situated in Ahmednagar district in the state of Maharashtra in india . Shani Shingnapur is known for its shani temple. Shani temple has story of Swayambhu statue ,when shepherd touches black stone with pointed rod it starts bleeding. When this miracle is known by people of village everyone gathered here to see this miracle .shainaishwara lord appeared in the dreams of people who gathered here to see miracle , lord quoted that this stone is a form of Swayambhu statue . So people asked lord that they will make temple for lord but lord refused and said whole sky is my roof . Lord also said that villagers is not need to worry about burglars ,thieves and dacoits . Lord only asked his devotees to do daily prayer (pooja) and tailaabhishek ( pouring oil on statue)on Saturday without fail .
