No Doors in Shani Singanapur: A Sacred Tradition Preserved by Faith

NEWS CHARIOT:-In the village of Shani Singanapur, located in Maharashtra, a unique and intriguing tradition persists: none of the homes or government buildings have doors. This practice is rooted in the belief that the local deity, Shani (Saturn), protects the wealth of the villagers. Unlike most other places, where doors are essential for security, the people of Shani Singanapur have long trusted their deity to safeguard their possessions.

The story behind this belief is that the deity, Shani, is said to have self-manifested in the village and made it clear that the people do not require a temple or doors for protection. The deity resides in the open, and the shrine has no walls or doors. Locals revere Shani as a guardian who shields them from misfortune, including theft. In fact, reports from the police station show no incidents of theft in the village, further strengthening the villagers’ faith in their deity’s protection.

However, an incident in recent years has caused a stir. A robbery took place at a local bank, and the thieves, after committing the crime, reportedly died near the village’s boundary. This unusual occurrence led to the installation of doors at the bank, a decision met with protests from the villagers who believe that the deity punishes wrongdoers. Despite this, many villagers continue to follow the tradition and refrain from installing doors in their homes.

The village, situated between Shirdi and Aurangabad, remains a place of pilgrimage, attracting devotees who come to worship the deity. The massive black stone idol of Shani, placed openly in the village, has become a symbol of faith for both locals and visitors alike. With its strong belief in divine protection, Shani Singanapur continues to defy conventional security measures, relying instead on the spiritual assurance that their deity watches over them.
