In Rajkot in the year 2026, Kali Chaudas and Saturday falling on the same day created a spiritually rare coincidence. On this occasion, a heavy crowd of devotees was seen since early morning at Rajkot's famous and ancient Jubilee Shani Dev temple. Apart from Rajkot, a large number of devotees from other cities of the state also reached for the darshan and worship of Shani Dev.
Special worship of Goddess Kali, Lord Hanuman and Shani Dev is considered important on this day. Devotees resolved to remove negative thoughts, do good deeds and receive divine energy. The entire temple premises became devotional with the recitation of Hanuman Chalisa and chanting of Shani mantras.
Temple priest Rameshbhai Trivedi, who has been serving for the last 19 years, stated that worshipping Shani Dev on the day of Kali Chaudas is very fruitful. He added that worshipping Lord Hanuman and Kaal Bhairav on this day removes all sorrows and pains of the devotees.
According to the report of Sandesh, this Shani Dev temple is extremely ancient and its establishment was done by the people of Kashi, which adds to its greatness. There is a belief that all the wishes of the devotees who come here are fulfilled.
