According to mythology, Shani Dev was a great devotee of Shri Krishna. He was always immersed in the devotion of Shri Krishna. Once Shani Dev's wife came to him, but Shani Dev was so engrossed in devotion that he did not pay attention towards his wife and ignored her. Despite all the efforts of his wife, Shani Dev did not pay attention to him.

Seeing Shani Dev ignoring herself, his wife became angry and cursed her own husband. He cursed Shani Dev and said that any creature who sees you will have to face difficulties and troubles in life.
