Imagine visiting a Hanuman temple and seeing Shani Dev portrayed at Hanuman Ji’s feet, appearing in the form of a woman. This unusual image is one of the most talked-about features of the Kashtbhanjan Hanuman Temple in Sarangpur, Gujarat. Devotees visit this sacred place seeking strength, peace, and relief during difficult periods of life, including Shani Sade Sati and Shani Mahadasha. But why is Shani Dev depicted this way, and what makes this temple so special? The answer lies in a popular religious tradition centred on Hanuman Ji’s protective power and the faith of his devotees.
