So, during Samudra Manthan, the gods (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Devas<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) and demons (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asuras<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) churned the ocean for the nectar of immortality.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, a deadly poison called <\/span><b>Halahala<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> emerged, threatening all creation. To save the universe, Lord Shiva bravely drank the poison, holding it in his throat. This turned his throat blue, earning him the name <\/span><b>&#8220;Neelkanth&#8221;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (the blue-throated one). This selfless act of protection occurred during the Sawan month, forever linking it to Lord Shiva&#8217;s immense sacrifice and divine grace.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 18pt;\"><b>Why Sawan Somvar is So Special: Significance &amp; Blessings<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every Monday (Somvar) in the <\/span><b>Sawan month<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is exceptionally holy.
