Which Hindu god is the god of the planet Saturn?

The Hindu god associated with the planet Saturn is Shani.

Shani, also called Shanaishchara or Shanishvara, is the divine personification of Saturn and one of the Navagraha, the nine celestial bodies recognized in Hindu astrology. His name is connected with slow movement, reflecting Saturn’s apparently slow journey across the sky. Shani is traditionally associated with Saturday, known in Sanskrit-derived usage as Shanivara.

Beyond his planetary identity, Shani represents karma, justice, discipline, time, responsibility, delay and the consequences of actions. He is often portrayed as stern rather than simply evil: his role is to deliver results according to a person’s conduct. Traditional iconography may show him with a dark complexion, carrying a staff, sword or other weapon, and riding a crow, vulture, buffalo or other animal depending on the text and region.

The wrong options belong to other planetary associations: Brihaspati is linked with Jupiter, Budha with Mercury, and Mangala with Mars. Shani’s father is Surya, the sun god, while his mother is commonly identified as Chhaya.
