Salutations to Lord Shiva who is also known by other names such as Hara, Bhola Maheshwara and Shambho Shankara. He supports the sacred river Ganga on His matted hair. He is the Consort of Gowri (Parvathi) and wears tiger skin, adorns the crescent shaped moon on His head and lives in mount Kailasa. He is the one who swallowed the poison to save Gods (during the conflict between the Gods and Demons. That is why Lord Shiva is called haalaa-hala dhara or Neelakanta - blue throated).
