Sing the glory of Lord Shiva, the one who wears the tiger skin, who besmears ashes all over His body, the one with the crescent moon on His head and the Ganges flowing from His matted locks, the one who loves to do the Cosmic dance, the one who swallowed the deadly poison and held it inside His throat (during the conflict between the Gods and Demons. Hence, Lord Shiva is also called Neela Kanta, the blue-throated one).
