Explanation

Mount Mandara was used as the churning rod (chaskey) in the Samudra Manthan. According to Hindu mythology, when the Devas and Asuras needed to churn the cosmic ocean, they sought a suitable churning rod and Mount Mandara was chosen. Lord Vishnu, in his Kurma (tortoise) avatar, supported the mountain from below to prevent it from sinking into the ocean floor during the churning process.
