Who performs it
The temple
Shani Shingnapur
A village shrine in Ahmednagar district, Maharashtra, where a black stone slab regarded as swayambhu stands in the open on a plain platform, without roof or spire above it. Worship is by abhishek of sesame oil and by darshan from the platform steps, and Saturday draws the largest gathering of the week. The village is widely documented for its old custom of building houses without door frames or locks, a practice the community ties to its trust in Shani’s presence.

Vedamurti
Suresh Kulkarni
He was raised in Nashik and studied Karmakanda at the Trimbakeshwar pathashala, then worked for nine years as an assistant on the long Narayan Nagbali and Tripindi sequences before conducting them himself. Twenty-six years on, most of his calendar is remembrance and dosha shanti work at Trimbakeshwar, where the rites run across two or three mornings and cannot be shortened. He briefs families the evening before in Marathi or Kannada, writes out the gotra and the three generations of names himself, and reads them back for correction. He is careful to describe a dosha as a classification found in the kundli and the traditional rite prescribed for it, and nothing more than that.
