Shree Shakti Peeth Shani Dham

This is located at Asola, Fatehpur Beri near Mehrauli. The site of the Shani Dham is divided into two parts, the eastern and the western.
Eastern part - On the top of the eastern part, the 100 feet tall eight metalled Shani idol was consecrated here by Sant Shiromani Madan Maharaj Rajasthani ji, an expert in Navgrah and Shani Pooja on 31 May 2003. Shri Maharaj ji had performed enchanting of Shani Mantras One Hundred Crores and thirty two lakh times on this sacred grove. Thus, the whole environment of the Shani Dham premises has become so alive that most of the problems of devotees of Lord Shani are automatically solved, when they happen to reach this temple. The special prayer here is the Abhishek of Shani Dev with mustard oil. On north and south, both sides there are Shani statues erected, wherein Shani Maharaj ji is riding over his various rides.
