Jodhpur the blue city in Rajasthan state in IndiaLegend has it that the colour blue is associated with Lord Shiva, who during the time of Samudra Manthan also, known as Churning of the Ocean Milk gulped down vicious poison called Halahala, in order to save the planet. This venom turned his body blue, and since then, his followers consider it to be a sacred colour. Owing to its sacredness, many of his followers who were settled in the region daubed their houses in blue hues , thus the town received the moniker, Blue City.
