Airavatha, the flower garland was previously adored to Goddess Sri Mahalakshimi. Lord Indra carelessly placed it on the Airavatha
was thrown into the ground and thrashed. Sage
Durvassa who was famous for his uncontrollable anger, cursed Lord Indra. Due to the curse Lord Indra lost his fame and
glories. Lord Indra approached Lord
Brahma and pleaded for a solution to regain the glories. Lord Vishnu advised churning the milky ocean
with the assistance of demons would re- instate the glories once again. The deities and demons initiated churning of milky
ocean for the elixir of immortality utilizing Mount Mandhara and Serpent
Vasuki. Shortly, Halala poison spew out of serpent Vasuki was
capable to destroy the entire Universe was gracefully swallowed by Lord Shiva. Goddess Sri Parvati got hold of the poison and
it remained in the throat, therefore Lord Shiva assumed the form of Lord Neelakanda. Maharishi Narada advised deities to initiate
worship of Lord Ganesha, remover of obstacle that would provide success in
their endeavors. Lord Indra realized their folly and created
an image of Lord Ganesha with the foam appeared on the surface of the ocean and
worshipped, eventually the churning of Milky Ocean turned out fruitful and many
precious resources emerged out of the ocean, ultimately the elixir of
immortality.
