The legend of Shravan Somwar is associated with Lord Shiva when Samudra Manthan took place i.e, churning of ocean. While churning the ocean, the Halahal called as poison came out which was consumed by Lord Shiva. He stored the poison in the throat due to which his throat turned into blue. Since then, Lord Shiva is also known as Neelkantha. To diminish the poison's impact, Lord Shiva wore crescent moon on his heas.
