Shani refers to the planet Saturn and is depicted as a male deity in the Puranas. It is also one of the 9 heavenly bodies known as Navagraha in Hindu astrology. Also known as Ara, Kona or Kroda, he is said to be the son of Surya (Sun) and Chhaya (Shadow) according to Hindu literature.
His iconography consists of a dark (black) figure and is represented as riding a chariot, carrying a bow and arrow and mounted on a vulture or crow.
Shani is found wearing a blue flower and sapphire. He is depicted in black clothes, holding a sword, arrows and two daggers.
He is lame and has a limp because his knee was injured when he fought as a child with Yama.
His chariot travels slowly across the sky drawn by piebald horses.
Shani is the basis for Shanivara, one of the seven days that make a week in the Hindu calendar. This day corresponds to Saturday - after Saturn in the Greco-Roman convention for naming the days of the week.
He is considered inauspicious, a deity who gets mad easily and one who takes thorough revenge for whatever made him upset.

Shani Singnapur
As per Hindu beliefs, Shani gives a person the result of one’s Karma during his/her own life time through appropriate punishments and rewards.
In astrology, Shani’s influence is usually malefic, though it can also lead to spiritual and mystical heights.
The fig tree called Pipal is considered by some Hindus to be the abode of Shani.
According to an ancient story, since childhood Lord Shani was a keen devotee of Lord Krishna. One day, his wife came to him but Shanidev was so absorbed in the deep thoughts of his deity that he didn’t even care to glance at his wife. His wife got upset and cursed him, “You won’t be able to look at some one in future. Whoever you look at, would be ruined.” When she overcame her rage, she repented a lot, but the curse could not be get undone.
The Tirunallar Saniswaran Temple and Shani Shingnapur are famous temples, dedicated for the ritual worship of Shani.
A 20-foot-tall statue of Lord Shani was also established at Yerdanur in the mandal of Sangareddy, Medak district, nearly 40 kilometers from Hyderabad city in the year 2013.
