Shani Shinganapur 

A story is prevalent in relation to Shingnapur, the birth place of Shani.. In ancient times a Pandit visited Shingnapur. Pandit ji was blind. One night, Lord Shani appeared in his dream and said to him that there is a statue of me inside the ground in Shingnapur, take it out. On this, Panditji told Shani Dev that he showed him therefore unable to perform this task. Then, Shanidev brought back his eyesight. When he awoke, he was very happy to see the sight and excavated at the place mentioned by Shani Dev, then the statue of Shani was really present there. After this, the idol of Shani Dev was established by taking out the idol of Shani. Since then the idol of Shani Dev was established at this place in Shingnapur. One of the unique aspects of the village Shiganapur is that houses here have no door- frames or locks on them for safety. They are in fact not needed. The people here believe that it is the benediction of the god that no crime ever occurs in this village where homes have no front doors, shops are always left unlocked and locals never feel unsafe where villagers eschew security because of their undying faith in Lord Shani who is considered the guardian of the village.
