As we all know that Shani Amavasya is going to be observed on August 23, 2025 during Bhadrapada month, which is the most potent time for performing various religious and spiritual activities to get relieved from the bad effects of Saturn or Shani.

So, you must keep this in mind that Shani Amavasya is one of the most powerful day, when you can appease Shani Dev by performing remedies, which might reduce the bad effects of Saturn. In this article, we will explain the items you can donate on this very day to get rid of its malefic effects. So, let’s move ahead to know that:
What is the importance of Charity?
Donation and charity is one of the best practice, which makes this occasion of Shani Amavasya more special and charity is also very deeply connected to Hinduism. Charity is viewed as a way to cultivate compassion, cleanse one’s past sins, and people earn merit (punya) by doing such practices, which can help to lessen your sufferings and brings the positive changes in your life.
What to Donate on Shani Amavasya
Doing charity and giving something to someone, who is in need is always a good idea and the auspicious day of Shani Amavasya is especially important for humanitarian endeavors. According to astrology, Shani represents various objects, which people can donate or give to the underprivileged people and try to appease Lord Shani Dev by their kind deeds.
Here are the following items which you can donate on Shani Amavasya:
- Black-colored items: Saturn is associated with black color so it is considered auspicious to donate black commodities, such as black shoes, iron, black til (sesame), black gram (urad dal), and black garments.
- Black Sesame seeds (Til): In order to appease Lord Shani Dev, black sesame seeds holds a great importance. Giving sesame seeds to the poor is believed to alleviate Saturn’s negative energy.
- Iron Artifacts: The metal iron is connected to Saturn. One must keep in mind that giving iron items such as tools, utensils is advantageous to donate. But you must donate the utensils to the one, who needs them.
- Mustard Oil: Another important item, which is connected to Saturn is mustard oil. It is believed that donating mustard oil or using it to cook food for others will appease Saturn. Again, we must mention that donate the mustard oil either in temple or to the people, who are underprivileged and can not afford buying mustard oil. The more they use it, the more you will get relieved from the Saturn’s malefic effect because you are helping someone, who can cook their food by using this oil.
- Food and Clothes: On this very day of Shani Amavasya, it is strongly advised to donate food, clothes, blankets, or other necessities to those in need. It represents love and compassion, two qualities that Lord Shani Dev admires.
