Today's Fast/Festival
Shani Jayanti Shani Jayanti is celebrated in Hinduism as the birth anniversary of Lord Shani Dev, who is revered as the deity of justice and karma. On this day, devotees observe fasts, offer prayers, and present offerings like oil, black sesame seeds, black clothes, and blue flowers to Shani Dev. It is believed that worshipping Lord Shani on Shani Jayanti can reduce life's difficulties, obstacles, and planetary afflictions such as Sade Sati or Dhaiyya. This year, Shani Jayanti falls on Tuesday, 27th May 2025. Insulting or disrespecting anyone.
Avoid cutting your hair and nails.
Tamasic food (non-vegetarian, onion-garlic, etc.).
Anger and negative thoughts. Wake up during Brahma Muhurat. Mix black sesame seeds in your bath water and bathe.
Wear clean clothes, preferably in black or blue, which are considered auspicious.
In your home temple, place an idol or image of Shani Dev, and offer mustard oil, black sesame seeds, black gram (urad dal), cloves, and blue flowers.
While pouring oil over the Shani idol, chant: 'ॐ शं शनैश्चराय नमः' (Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namah).
Recite the above mantra 108 times
Sit with devotion at home or in a temple and recite the Shani Chalisa. Read or listen to the Shani Jayanti Katha .
Offer donations of iron, black clothes, black shoes, sesame seeds, mustard oil, and jamun fruit.
In the evening, offer sesame, jaggery, khichdi, and foods made from black sesame to Shani Dev.
Conclude your fast by consuming the prasad. Jyeshtha Amavasya holds immense spiritual and religious significance in the Hindu calendar. On this day, if one performs sacred bathing, donations, tarpan (ancestral rites), and worship with sincerity, they are believed to attain relief from sins and blessings from their ancestors. This day is dedicated to the Pitru Devtas (forefathers) and is also observed as Shani Amavasya, as it marks the birth of Lord Shani. Hence, its astrological and religious significance is greatly enhanced. Begins: 12:11 PM, 26th May
Ends: 08:31 AM, 27th May Wake up early and take a holy bath. If possible, bathe in the Ganga or any sacred river.
If a river bath isn't possible, mix Ganga water in your home bath.

Facing the East, offer Arghya (water offering) to the Sun God.
For the peace of your ancestors, offer tarpan with kusha grass, sesame seeds, and water. Perform pind daan with the help of a priest.
Light a lamp under a Peepal tree, offer water, turmeric, vermilion, and flowers. Do 7 or 11 circumambulations (parikramas) around the tree. Jyeshtha Amavasya holds deep astrological relevance as it is governed by the energies of both the Moon and the Sun. On this day, the Moon is completely invisible, making it a powerful time for emotional and mental purification.This tithi (lunar phase) is ideal for pacifying ancestral karmic debts and resolving hidden planetary imbalances. The Jyeshtha month, being hot and intense, aligns powerfully with Shani Dev, the slow-moving, secretive planet of karma.This day's rituals are particularly beneficial for: Reducing Pitru Dosha, Shani Dosha, Kaal Sarp Dosh,
Easing past-life karmic effects and
Promoting peace and balance in life.
Observing meditation, mantra chanting, and fasting today can restore inner harmony and planetary alignment.

Cities have failing infra and poor crowd management SOPs say Urban planners
An evening of celebration for RCB turned into a tragedy at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium, where a stampede claimed 11 lives, highlighting the cracks in the city's civic planning and crowd control systems. Citizens and experts alike have questioned the government's preparedness and the promise of 'Brand Bengaluru' to handle large gatherings, especially at high-footfall venues. Urban planners told ET that not just Bengaluru, but many civic agencies in Indian cities fail to have robust standing operating procedures (SOPs) for crowd management. 'We tend to employ very ad hoc measures to manage crowds, poor fencing, lack of proper pathways, poor lighting and lack of emergency services,' said Ujjvala Krishna, urban researcher at WELL labs. She added that there is a clear lack of foresight in building long-term infrastructure that anticipates such scale.'Bengaluru doesn't have an active master plan. The Regional and Metropolitan Area Master Plan for 2031 is still a draft. It's more like a reference. Other major metros like Mumbai, Delhi, and Chennai have active master plans,' Krishna said. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), which makes rules for handling disasters in India, released a guide in 2014 to help state governments, local bodies, event organisers, and police manage large crowds safely. The guideline titled 'Managing Crowd at Events and Venues of Mass Gathering' suggests that before any big event, authorities should do a Rapid Venue Assessment to check preparedness. This includes an 11-point checklist evaluating aspects such as disaster preparedness, stakeholder coordination, crowd flow, safety, emergency response, ability to manage complexity, and potential for crowd growth, all rated on a scale from poor to best in urban planner from Bengaluru with over 30 years of experience in architecture and urban design said civic bodies are supposed to have SOPs. 'It's a combination problems of law and order, traffic management, and civic bodies. I don't think they have individual SOPs or even a common one,' he said, suggesting that such celebrations can be delayed by a day or two and organised with proper planning. The NDMA has also issued Guidelines on the Incident Response System (IRS), to ensure that there is a structured and coordinated emergency response. The guideline emphasises the need to encourage research on crowd behaviour and psychology to better inform planning and risk mitigation at mass urban planner said mismanagement of crowds is not an isolated incident. 'We've had enough of these events to actually learn from them. The answer lies in capacitating our governance systems to deliver better,' the expert said, requesting is not the first time a stampede has claimed lives. Earlier this year on February 15, a stampede at the New Delhi Railway Station resulted in 18 people losing their lives. During Maha Kumbh in Prayaraj on the occasion of Mauni Amavasya, where lakhs arrived to take a holy dip at the Sangam, 30 died and over 60 were injured despite advisories and emergency policy advisors also highlighted that cities continue to build for lower capacity than needed. They pointed out that metro cities have inadequate road infrastructure, pavements barely exist, and public mobility services are congested and worn down.
