Shani Jayanti marks the birth anniversary of Lord Shani, the personification of the planet Saturn and the Lord of Justice. In 2026, this auspicious day falls on May 15th. For the Hindu community in Dubai, particularly residents in Al Furjan and Discovery Gardens, observing this day with the correct Tithi and rituals is essential to seek protection from the malefic effects of Shani Sade Sati and Dhaiya.
