The Shani Temple 

Our Mission

At Guruweshvar Shani Foundation, our mission is to uphold the sanctity of the Guruweshvar Shani Temple and ensure that its spiritual traditions are maintained and passed on to future generations. We strive to create a serene and inclusive environment where devotees can experience the profound blessings of Lord Shani and connect with the deep spiritual energy that the temple emanates.

The Temple

The Guruweshvar Shani Temple stands out not only for its historical and architectural significance but also for its unique representation of Lord Shani. Unlike the more common depictions of Lord Shani riding a crow, the idol in this temple is seated on an elephant, symbolizing wisdom, strength, and spiritual authority. This rare form of Lord Shani is revered for its immense power to remove obstacles and bring peace and prosperity to the lives of devotees.

Our Activities

The Guruweshvar Shani Foundation undertakes various activities to support and enhance the temple’s operations and its role in the community, including:

  • Temple Maintenance and Renovation: Ensuring that the Guruweshvar Shani Temple remains a pristine and welcoming place of worship for all.
  • Cultural and Spiritual Events: Organizing festivals, rituals, and ceremonies that celebrate the rich traditions associated with Lord Shani and the temple.
  • Community Outreach: Supporting the local community through charitable initiatives, educational programs, and social welfare activities that align with the values of the temple.
  • Devotee Services: Providing services to help devotees in their spiritual journey, including guided temple tours, religious counseling, and more.
