Devas and asuras began to churn the milk ocean to get amrit , a nectar which is believed to give immortality . The deal was to give 50 % of amrit to both the sides . They went on churning till they get amrit .
The asuras though they act like fools , some of them are quite clever . One of them was Svarbhanu . He anticipated that devas would distribute all the amrit amongst themselves , he disguised himself as a deva and stood in the queue for amrit .

Same thing happened . Amrit became empty soon while distributing to devas . Svarbhanu was the last in the queue . He was about to swallow amrit through his throat , that time rest of the devas realised that he was not one of them .
That time God Vishnu cut his head from his body . From that time , his head became rahu and his body became ketu .
