Saturday is devoted to the fearful god Shani, who is one of the Navagrahas or nine planets. He is represented as a divinity carrying a bow and arrows and making a raven or a vulture. There are temples exclusively dedicated to god Shani and normally they are painted black. The idol also, is of black color, and sometimes of iron. The devotees who observe the Shanivar fast usually visit Shani Shrines and offer objects of black color like sesame oil, black clothes and black grams. Lord Shani is said to ward off adverse effects, illness, miseries and problems. Lord Shani is so dreaded thus many Hindus avoid long journeys on Saturday. The fast is observed by many to avoid adversities and misfortunes on Shanivar. It is also believed that those who have the blessings of Lord Hanuman are protected from the anger of Shani.
