Halahal is very dangerous and deadliest poison which contains the power to destroy entire Universe and no asuras or devas had power to control it. In this situation Lord Shiva drank this halahal and saved the universe.
Impact of Halahal was so strong that throat of Lord Shiva turned blue. Hence Lord Shiva is also called Neelkantha. To reduce impact of Halahal Lord Shiva wore crescent moon on this head as moon is symbol of coolness. All Devas started showering holy water of Ganga river to reduce impact of Halahal.
Lord shiva saved the universe by drinking Halahal in the Shravana Hence this month is dedicated for the worship of lord shiva. As per ritual Hindus offer Milk and Bel Leaves to Lord Shiva during worship.
