When you see Lord Saturn, you should stand side by side and worship him. Don’t fall for his direct vision for example there is a story about Ravana. The mighty Ravana defeated the Navagraha heroes. He ordered them to lie down in rows, and then step on their backs every day and ascend the throne.
Only Lord Saturn, one of the Navagrahas, asked Ravana to put himself down on the ground and step on his chest. He also made him believe that that was the pride of Ravana. To do the same Ravana, then Saturn saw him directly. Seeing this, Tosham Ravana abducted Sita. Later, He killed by the Kakuththan, as per the story.
Lord Saturn has the names ‘Manthan’ and ‘Sanicharan’. Sanicharan became Saneeswaran. Only Shiva and he have the title of ‘Easwara’. He has lame on one leg and has only one eye. The one who has the crow as his vehicle. He has four hands. His wife’s name was Jashta Devi.
