As Saturday is dedicated to Lord Shani (Saturn), the best remedy is to light a mustard oil lamp under a Peepal tree after sunset. Donating black sesame seeds or black clothes to the needy will also pacify Saturn and bring peace.

The day begins with morning prayers at Jain temples, followed by an Abhisheka (ceremonial bathing) of Lord Mahavir's idol. A grand chariot procession known as the Rath Yatra is carried out. Devotees also engage in deep meditation, fasting, and significant charitable acts like distributing food and clothes to the needy.

Since it is Monday, offering milk or water to the Shivling brings mental peace. Additionally, as it is Republic Day, showing respect to the National Flag and performing a small act of social service (like cleaning a public area) is considered a karmic remedy for Saturn/Sun.

The Abhijit Muhurat, which is the best time for auspicious work, is from 12:01 PM to 12:43 PM.
