Summary[edit]
| Description |
Bangkok Airport The churning of the Ocean of Milk was an elaborate process. Mount Mandaranchal was used as the churning tool, and Vasuki, the king of serpents, became the churning rope. On the right side, 'devas' (guardian gods) pull the tail of the snake while on the left side 'asuras' (demon gods) pull the snake's head in the opposite direction. They pulled on it alternately causing the mountain to rotate, which in turn churned the ocean. By alternating back and forth, the ocean was "milked", forming the earth and the cosmos anew. |
