In the mythology of Pradosh, the poison of time is revealed when the demons and gods while churning the paarkadal (great sea).
Fearing this, the gods and demons prayed to Lord Shiva to protect them. For them Lord Shiva had the venom of time. Parvati, who was nearby, tightened her grip on Lord Shiva’s neck to prevent him from reaching Lord Shiva’s stomach. Thus time changed the neck of Lord Shiva to blue.
