There is a tree, but no shade
It is true that in the northern direction of God Shani's idol, there was a neem tree. ( This was pulled down about 10 to 12 years back.) Many devotees and elders who witnessed it say that when the brances of this tree would grow so long as to come over the idol. The branches would get burnt to ashes. Or, they would break and fall to the ground. But the special thing about it was that as a result of the branches burning or breaking down, nobody suffered in any way or incurred any loss. But the shade of the tree never came on the idol. Therefore it is considered strange that in the realm of nature, there is a tree in this neighbourhood, but no shade.
About 20 to 30 years back, there occurred a miracle here. Lightening struck this neem tree, at a time when there was a marriage procession next to it. Though no harm came to anyone there, the tree was burnt to its roots. The tree burnt for 12 hours. All out efforts were made and the fire was put out. But the strange thing was that on the very next day, the tree was lush and full of greenery. Normally, anything would have been reduced to black cindered in that fire, but by this Divine providence, it was not to be. Therefore, the people here believe that God Shani is the all powerful and ever present Divine force. Therefore the people here say that there is a tree but no shade.
