Propitiation of Shani with the offerings the tradition assigns to him — sesame, sesame oil, black cloth and iron — customarily on a Saturday.
Worship of Shani with til, urad, black cloth and the other offerings the tradition assigns to him, performed on a Saturday where possible.
The puja with til-tel abhisheka — sesame oil poured over the image — the observance customarily kept during Sade Sati and Dhaiya.
A counted observance: repeated puja with japa of the Shani mantra to a sankalpa count, carried across sittings.
The puja and abhisheka completed with a homa on the Shani mantra, the oblations offered on his own samidha and with til among the substances.
The fullest form: an anushthan across several Saturdays with daily puja, abhisheka, counted japa and a concluding homa.
Shani has his own established rite because the tradition gives him his own materials: til (sesame seed) and til-tel (sesame oil) above all, with black cloth, urad dal, iron and blue flowers among the offerings. The til-tel abhisheka — sesame oil poured over the image — is the customary observance during Sade Sati and Dhaiya. Saturday is his day and is the usual one for this puja; where the observance is counted, the japa is of the Shani mantra and the count is fixed at the sankalpa.
Shani's worship is distinguished by its materials rather than by a different liturgy, and the materials are not arbitrary: each graha is assigned a grain, a cloth, a metal and a substance, and his are the dark and the heavy ones. Til-tel abhisheka is the most specific of them and is the rite most often named in connection with Sade Sati.
