• Shani Dham or Shani Parvat is situated at Sanichara, a railway station about 25 km from Gwalior[M.P.]. If history can be tracked to the Ramayana and Purana period, it is said that Hanuman ji after burning Lanka saw Saturn standing before him with folded hands. On request of Saturn Hanuman ji provided him a place at Sanichara where he could be worshipped. Since than this hill is known as Shani Parvat. The present Saturn Temple was built by Daulat Rao Scindia in 1825 but statue is of 6th century. It is believed that statue of Shani Maharaj was placed by all time great king Vikramaditya of Ujjain.
