In Hinduism, every day is dedicated to a particular God, and Saturday is devoted to Lord Shani Dev who owns planet Saturn. Shani Dev is the lord of justice who blesses people according to their good and bad deeds. And to appease Lord Shani, it is believed that one should avoid buying few things on Saturday as they make him angry. By following certain practices, a person can appease him and seek his blessings. 

Here are some of the products or items that one should avoid buying on Saturdays:

Black sesame: Black sesame is associated with Shani Dev, the planet Saturn. It is believed that buying black sesame on Saturday can increase the negative influence of Shani and bring bad luck.

Iron and steel items: Iron and steel are also associated with Shani Dev. Buying these items on Saturday is believed to invite challenges and obstacles.

Leather products: Leather is derived from animals, and harming animals is considered inauspicious on Saturdays. Therefore, it is best to avoid buying leather products like wallets, belts, or shoes on this day.

Meat and alcohol: Consumption of meat and alcohol is generally discouraged on Saturdays as it is considered a day of austerity and devotion. Buying these items is also seen as inauspicious.

Knives and other sharp objects: Knives and other sharp objects are symbolic of negativity and aggression. Buying them on Saturday is believed to attract arguments, conflicts, and accidents.

Ways to please Shani Dev:

  • Though people follow different practices as per their rituals, but there are some common rules that one can follow:
  • Offering prayers and performing puja to Shani Dev on Saturday is the most recommended way to appease him. 
  • You can offer black sesame seeds, oil, and dhoti cloth. Chanting Shani Dev mantras like "Om Sham Shanishcharaye Namah" 108 times is also believed to be beneficial.
  • Blue and black are the colours associated with Shani Dev. Wearing clothes of these colours on Saturday is believed to please him and ward off negative influences.
  • Donating black clothes, sesame seeds, or oil to the needy on Saturday is considered a good deed that pleases Shani Dev and brings blessings.
  • Shani Dev is associated with justice and karma. It is important to avoid anger, negativity, and harmful actions on Saturdays to stay in his good graces.
  • Shani Dev rewards patience and hard work. Devoting yourself to your work and responsibilities on Saturdays is a way to show him your dedication and earn his favour.

Remember, these are just traditional beliefs and practices. It is up to you to decide whether or not to follow them or you can also consult an astrologer to seek advice as per their own birth chart. However, understanding these traditions can provide you with valuable insights into Hindu culture and spirituality.
