History
Shani Temple is located just few kilometers away from Bangalore. The temple is dedicated to Shanishwar, a planet in the Hindu astrology. Shanishwar or Saturn is the son of Suryadev and his second wife Chaya Devi. The temple is located on the banks of Madhure Kere, a big lake. The temple is built in South Indian style architecture with Gopura. Every year there is a procession on which Lord Shani is taken in the chariot followed by thousands of devotees. Devotees offer black sesame seeds tied in the cloth and soaked in gingelly oil to Lord Shani in order to please the God.
