or

"I bow down to slow-moving Saturn, whose complexion is dark blue like nilanjana ointment. The elder brother of Lord Yamaraj, he is born from the Sun god and his wife Chaya."

the brother of Yama Dev (deity of death). He is generally depicted in dark
complexion, clothed in black. Shani Graha have a seventh place among navagraha.

2.5 years in each rashi. When we add the 2.5 years in previous and 2.5 years in
next rashi together, the time period of 7.5 years is called Saadasaati Panoti.
Saturday is devoted to Lord Shani Dev.
This Diety in Hinduism who keeps an eye on our deeds and depending on our Karmas we will be rewarded or punished by Shani.Shani is most powerful in the 7th house.

Saturn is particularly a beneficial planet for Taurus and Libra.Saneeswaran is reputed to be both a giver and destroyer.
