Shani Peyarchi 2026

Why devotees choose Shani Peyarchi 2026

Saturn's transit begins or ends Sade Sati and Ashtama Shani for different rasis, so Shani Peyarchi is one of the most closely followed events in the Tamil calendar. Families whose rasi is affected perform a pariharam at a Shani sthalam such as Thirunallar, or with priests at home, for Shani's favour.

When it is performed

It is performed around the 2026 transit date and in the following weeks. The Vakya and Thirukanitha panchangams differ on the date, so we confirm the date followed by the chosen temple.

What to expect

A sankalpam is made in your name, rasi and nakshatram, and the priests perform til oil abhishekam, archana and Shani homam, with sesame, sesame oil and a black cloth offered as dana. Prasad can be couriered.

Planning your visit

The temple is chosen with you during planning, based on the ritual and your preference. The local priest, the schedule, any travel and remote participation are then confirmed in writing.

How booking works

Tell us the occasion, location and dates that suit your family. We match a priest who follows your tradition, confirm timings and materials, and send a written plan with the final price. You decide only when everything is clear.

Questions families ask

Can I take part if I cannot travel?

Remote participation, including sankalpa in your family's names, live viewing and prasad delivery, depends on the venue and the ritual. It is confirmed for your specific booking.

What is included in the price?

You receive a written plan that lists the ritual, priest dakshina, materials, donations, travel and stay where relevant, so the final price is clear before you confirm.
