Offering special offerings to Lord Shani helps in relieving oneself from Shani dosha (affliction) and gaining his blessings. It is of great importance to offer sesame seeds, oil, black urad dal (lentils), iron, black cloth, and blue flowers to Lord Shani. These offerings attract Lord Shani's grace, leading to growth in prosperity, good fortune, and peace in life. In Shani Puja, copper plates, cloves, jaggery, and chickpeas are also offered to invoke Lord Shani’s blessings, helping to eliminate problems and difficulties from life.
