Kalsarpa dosha can be removed from the birth chart on this day.

Visit Shani Temples

Those suffering from the ill effects relating to unfavourable placement of Saturn, should visit a Shani Dev Temple and offer mustard oil, sesame seeds, black cloth, black pulses (urad), sweets, coconut, a small piece of iron and some flowers to Shani Dev.

Perform Other Forms Of Charity

On the day of Shani Amavasya, one should not let a beggar go empty handed from his house. If you see a captive snake, you should help liberate him, whether by giving money to the capturer or in some other way. Similarly, fish should be rescued and let free in water, if they are being made captive.
Donating satnaja (a mixture of seven types of cereals) is also considered auspicious.
