The Aarti is a description of the various qualities of Shankar in brief. His appearance, the blue throat, as a result of drinking the poison emerging during Sagar-Manthan. The poison emerging out of the churning of the ocean of milk, threatened to destroy the Universe.Shankar swallowed the poison; hence he is also called Neelkanth which translated into English means one having a Blue Throat.
