Shani Temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, is a famous shrine
dedicated to Navgrahas or nine planets in Hindu astrology. The shrine is
popularly known as Shani Mandir. Another name of the temple is Triveni Navgraha
Temple. Ujjain Shani Mandir is situated on Indore – Ujjain Road. The temple is
on the banks of Shipra River.
The Navgrahas are Mangal, Budh, Guru, Shukra, Surya,
Chandra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu.
Those having trouble in their horoscope due to bad
positioning of one or more navgrahas get relief after offering prayers here.
Murtis worshipped in temple are unique as they are swayambhu
or that seems to have appeared on its own.
The shrine attracts thousands of devotees when Amavasya
