520 |a In northern India, the planetary deity Śani has historically been regarded as lord of many inauspicious phenomena that are also associated with the Kali Yuga. In the realm of astrology, the inevitable period of Śani's malevolent influence is known as sāŗhe sātī, and ritual specialists, particularly those of the dakaut caste, have historically been called upon to mediate between Śani and those afflicted by him. However, contemporary Śani-related practices in Delhi suggest that he is no longer simply conceptualized as a malevolent, inauspicious deity. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted at several Śani temples in Delhi, this article documents some of the ways in which contemporary worship of Śani is shaped by - and a sensible response to - changes in the Indian economy brought about by its ongoing liberalization. In this new world, even the Kali Yuga takes on unprecedented, surprising meanings.
