Sawan 2024: Story
According to the Hindu Scripture, at the time of Samudra Manthan or churning the ocean, many auspicious things including innumerable amounts of gems, jewels, Kaamdhenu Cow, and an Elephant named Airawat have come out of the ocean along with the poison but demons and deities were shocked seeing that poison (Halahal) as it had the ability to destroy the world and everything.
Lord Shiva then came to rescue and drank all the poison and stored it in his throat, which turned out blue in colour that is why Lord Shiva is called Neelkanth also. Lord Shiva saved the entire world from this destructive poison. Demons and deities started offering him the holy water of Ganga so that the hazardous effect of poison could be reduced. This event took place during this month, from then this month is celebrated as Shravan month, and is considered to be the propitious month in the year.
