Dear indologists,

I am looking for Puranic references that link together Shiva, the blue colour and the mountain.

E.g.: in Kalikapurana is narrated that Nilacala turned its colour into blue because of the touch of the yoni, although the mountain was already identified with Shiva (and its linga) -- thus it may be (probably) assumed/hypothesised that the association between blue and Shiva was provoked by the shakti of the Goddess.

Any further reference will be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Paolo
