Hindu Prayers and Mantras on Saturday

Saturday, or Shaniwar, is dedicated to Lord Shani. As it is believed that those who have the blessing of Lord Hanuman are protected from the effects of Shani Graha, Hanuman is also worshipped on the day by many Hindus. In some regions, the Narasimha incarnation of Lord Vishnu is also worshipped. The main mantras and prayers that are chanted are dedicated to Lord Shani. The prayers that are chanted include the 108 names of Lord Shani (Shanaishchara Ashtottara Shatanamavali), Shani Stotram, the 108 names of Narasimha and some people also chant prayers dedicated to Lord Hanuman.
