Why Datura is used in Shiv Puja

Dhatura flower is one of God Shiva’s favourite flowers. According to Vamana Purana, Datura is believed to have appeared from the chest of Lord Shiva when he drank the poison that was churned out of the cosmic ocean by the Devas and Asuras, for the welfare of the world. Therefore, Datura is offered to Lord Shiva to get rid of the poison of envy, ego, rivalry, foul language and wicked nature so that one is fully cleansed of all his sins and becomes pure.

Note : Dhatura is extemely poisonous if consumed. The skill of extracting the right concoction is artisanal and some believe that it is lost in history. So, please do not try consuming any part of the plant.
