How Lord Shani Was Born?

There are different beliefs and stories regarding the birth of Shani Dev. According to a legend, Shani Maharaj is the son of Lord Surya and his wife Chhaya. Surya Dev was married to Sangya, the daughter of King Daksha. Sangya stayed with Lord Sun for a few years after their marriage, but couldn’t bear his bright glorious light for much long. Because of this, Sangya left her Chhaya or shadow with Lord Surya and went to perform the penance herself. After some time, Chhaya gave birth to Shani Dev.

Why Is Saturn Hailed As The Best Amongst Navagrahas?

According to the religious scriptures, the mother of Lord Shani Chaaya performed a harsh penance to appease Lord Shiva while nurturing Lord Shani in her womb. Due to her mother being pregnant, Lord Shani had to face the severe after-effects of the penance, resulting in his complexion turning black. 

Seeing his dark complexion, Lord Surya refused to consider Shani as his son. Angered by his father’s insult, Shani Dev performed the harsh penance to please Lord Shiva. Seeing his sincerity, Lord Shiva blessed him and placed him as the “Best” amongst all the Navagrahas. Not only humans but gods will also fear your name.
