Then Bholenath took that thunderbolt poison and stopped it around his neck, which made his throat blue and he became Neelkanth, that is, ‘blue throat.

According to local belief, after poisoning, Shiva performed deep penance for 60,000 years under a Panchpani tree near Pankaja-Madhumati Sangam here to cool the mind and get treatment from the poisonous throat.
