An unforgettable imagery of Shiva is of him swallowing the poison that came out of Samundra Manthana. So much good came from that churning but only because someone swallowed the bad. Wish you all a Shubh Mahashivaratri! This installation is from the grand Mahakaal corridor. pic.twitter.com/HWiUIEwr9o

The naga Vasuki served as the churning rope. The asuras held his head and the gods held his tail. When Vasuki vomited poison that threatened to fall into the ocean and contaminate the amrita, Shiva took it and held it in his throat, which turned his throat blue.
