About Shani Shanti Homa
Shani Shanti Homa is one of the most sought-after remedial rituals in Vedic Jyotisha. Lord Shani — son of Surya and Chhaya — governs karma, discipline, and delay. When Shani transits the 12th, 1st, or 2nd house from natal Moon (Sade Sati), or runs as Mahadasha / Antardasha, individuals often experience health issues, career slowdowns, legal troubles, and family stress. This homa, performed with the Shani Mool Mantra and Neelanjana Samabhasam stotra, dramatically reduces Shani's malefic influence and channels his disciplinary blessings constructively.
When to perform it
Performed on Saturday, especially during Shukla Paksha. Ideal dates include Shani Jayanti, Shani Trayodashi, and amavasya falling on a Saturday. Those entering or inside Sade Sati, Shani Mahadasha, Ashtama Shani (Shani in 8th from Moon), or Kantaka Shani (Shani in 4th, 7th, 10th) benefit most. Our astrologer-pandit can examine your chart and recommend the best muhurtam.
The South Indian procedure
South Indian tradition uses Navagraha Homa followed by dedicated Shani Homa with 108 or 1008 ahutis of black sesame, blue lotus, and Shami leaves. Neelanjana Samabhasam stotra is recited. Tila taila (sesame oil) is offered to a Shani idol and donated along with iron, black cloth, and urad dal.
This is the form our pandits follow by default in Hootagalli — Mysore families are overwhelmingly Kannada-tradition. Tell us if your family follows a different sampradaya and we will match a purohit accordingly.

Shani Shanti Homa — common questions
How do I know if I'm in Sade Sati?
Sade Sati is the 7.5-year period when Shani transits the 12th, 1st, and 2nd houses from your natal Moon. Share your date, time, and place of birth with our pandit and we will confirm along with suggested remedies.
How many times should the Shani Mool Mantra be chanted?
Traditional counts are 108 (laghu), 1008 (madhyama), 10008 (uttama), and 23000 (as Shani is associated with number 23). For severe Sade Sati we usually recommend 10008.
Is Saturday the only day this homa can be done?
Saturday is the most auspicious, but Shani Trayodashi, Shani Jayanti, and Saturday amavasya are also extremely powerful. Our pandit will help choose the best date for your chart.
Should I also do Hanuman Chalisa or Maha Mrityunjaya along with this?
Yes. Hanumanji is considered Shani's protector-friend. Daily Hanuman Chalisa and Tuesday Hanuman Puja complement the Shani Shanti Homa beautifully. For health-related Shani issues, Maha Mrityunjaya Japa is also recommended.
