Located in Taluka Nevasa, District Ahmednagar, Shri Shaneshwar Devasthan in Shanishingnapur is a revered shrine, drawing countless devotees from across India and beyond. Known for its incredible miracles and spiritual significance, this holy site has even earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Unlike other deities, Lord Shani (Saturn) is believed to influence our lives based on our deeds. He is the seventh celestial body among the nine 'Navagrahas' (planets) that govern cosmic energy. His power is said to be even stronger than gravity, capable of receiving our thoughts and actions—rewarding good with good, and returning bad with consequences.
Our existence is influenced by the five great elements (earth, water, fire, air, and space), which in turn are governed by planetary forces. In this cycle, Lord Shani plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of karma—emphasizing strength, discipline, and mercy in everyday life.
The fame of Shanishingnapur has transcended the boundaries of Maharashtra and India, reaching devotees across the globe. Known for its open-air idol, lack of temple doors, and unwavering belief in Lord Shani’s protection, this sacred site is a symbol of faith, tradition, and divine justice.
