#Thread on why there is SNAKE around the neck of shiva?
There are a lot of stories and reasons for that. But let me clear one thing first, no where the exact reason has been mentioned (according to my knowledge). Few stories are there in purana like matasya puran, shiva puran https://twitter.com/drpande92942287/status/1265074463307153412

1. There are 250+ chakras (according to sadhguru) in our energy body. Out of these, 7 are the fundamental chakras. Among these 7 fundamental ones, the vishuddhi chakra is located in
the pit of your throat. This particular chakra is very strongly associated with the snake. Now we all know that lord shiva had drunk all the poison during the the samundra manthan. According to story, parvati tied vashuki (the snake) on shiva’s neck to control the vishuddhi
Chakkra.
The vishuddhi is about stopping poison, and a snake carries poison. All these things are connected.
The word vishuddhi literally means “filter.” If your vishuddhi becomes powerful, you have the ability to filter everything that enters you.

2. Lord Siva is know as Pasupathinath, the lord of all creatures. Being a lord of the animals he has complete control on their behavior. Since a snake is one of the most feared and dangerous animals in the world, the garland of snakes around the neck firmly establishes this fact

beings and descends upwards when one starts ones spiritual journey and becomes increasingly divine oriented. The snake around the neck of Siva conveys the meaning that in him the kundalini not only has arisen fully but is also actively involved in the divine activity by keeping
an eye on all the devotees who approach Siva with their individual problems.
4. It is also said that the snake three rounds around Lord Shiva's neck depicts future, present and past. That states that Lord Shiva is Independent of Time and controls time.

5. There is a story that when the snake species were in dangered, they approach Lord Shiva for Shelter. Lord Shiva gave them shelter by letting them stay in Kailasa. But due to cold weather, the snakes used to approach Lord Shiva for warmth of Body. Thus, He as a protector used
to wore these snakes as ornament to provide warmth.
