Shani Dev — Lord of Karma and Justice
Shani, son of Surya (the Sun) and Chhaya, presides over Saturn and is revered as the deity of karma — dispensing the consequences of one’s actions with impartial justice rather than malice, despite his fearsome popular reputation. He is traditionally depicted dark-complexioned, seated on or accompanied by a crow, holding a sword, arrow, and mace as symbols of the discipline he enforces.
