The Shiv Evam Shani Mandir, located near Hanuman Road in Connaught Place, New Delhi, is a revered Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and Lord Shani. Established in 1877 by Maharaj Shri Sawai Ram Singh, the temple has been a significant spiritual center for devotees in the region. The temple complex comprises two interconnected shrines: one dedicated to Lord Shiva and the other to Lord Ganesha.

Situated near the renowned Hanuman Temple of Connaught Place, the Shiv Evam Shani Mandir is part of a cluster of sacred sites that have been central to Delhi's religious life for centuries.
