Nagar kurnool: On the auspicious occasion of Bhadrapada Masam Chavithi, special Til (sesame) oil Abhishekam Pujas were performed for Sri Shani Swamy, accompanied by Jyeshta Mata, at Nandi Vaddeman village in Bijnapally Mandal. The chief priest, Dr. Gavamatham Vishwanatha Shastri, shared that devotees from various regions offered special prayers to Lord Shani with great devotion, performing the Abhishekam with Ashtottara Namavali (108 names). He mentioned that worshipping Lord Shani with sesame oil, jilledu flowers, jilledu leaves, and jammi leaves helps alleviate planetary doshas (afflictions) and bring peace.
