Halahalam
Episode

addition, it is on the evening of the first Monday of Sravanamasa,
Lord Siva swallowed the kalakutavisha that came up when
palasamudra was churned, to save the worlds from the conflagration.
So these monumental occasions are occupying the highest place in the
Saivate calender, nay in the almanac of humanity. This Lingodbhava
auspicious moment, if remembered showers manifold blessings on the
adorers. Even a drop of water poured on the Sivalinga at this moment
as an act abhisheka, it fetched fortune. Prayer services of numerous
kinds have been introduced to benefit mankind, if performed with due
fervour then.
