Srikalahasti Temple is one of the most famous Shiva temples
in South India, and is said to be the site where Kannappa,
one of the 63 Saivite Nayanars, was ready to offer both his
eyes to cover blood flowing from the Siva linga before the
Lord Siva stopped him and granted him mukti.
It is one of the five major Shiva temples (Panchabhoota
Sthalam), representing one of the five major elements -
Wind. The other four temples are Chidambaram,
Ekambareswara (Kanchipuram), Jambukeshwara
(Thiruvanaikaval) and Tiruvannamalai. There is a lamp inside
the inner sanctum that is constantly flickering despite the
lack of air movement inside. The air-linga can be observed tomove even when the priests close off the entrance to the
main deity room, which does not have any windows. One can
see the flames on several ghee lamps flicker as if blown by
moving air. The linga is white and is considered Swayambhu,
or self-manifested.
The temple is also a famous parihara sthalam for Rahu and
Kethu doshams. Special parihara pujas are performed here
for Kalasarpa dosham and other afflictions associated with
Rahu and Ketu. If the People who have Rahu Kethu Doshas
and Sarpa Doshas, the unmarried and couples without
children perform the most effective Rahu - Kethu Sarpa
Dosha Nivarana Puja in this Temple. Thousands of Devotees

Rahu - Kethu Sarpa Dosha Nivarana Puja can be performed
daily between 6:30 A.M and 9:00 P.M. While you can perform
pooja at any time, performing pooja during rahu kalam isconsidered to be auspicious. Sunday and Tuesday are the
best days to perform pooja as Sunday and Tuesday are the
days considered to be for Rahu and Kethu.(The Devastanam
will arrange all Puja Materials).
Sri Kalahasti is named after the staunch devotees of Lord
Shiva. They were the Spider (Sri), the Serpent (Kala) and the
Elephant (Hasti). Appeased with their unflinching devotion,Lord Shiva gave them a boon that their names be merged
with the Vayulinga and called as Sri Kalahasteeswara.
According to Hindu mythology, the elephant or Hasti used to
clean the Shiva deity by watering the idol with the help of
river-water carried in his trunks and pray for him by placing
Vilva leaves. The spider or Sri tried to protect the deity from
external damage by weaving his web and to provide shelter
for the Shiva lingam. The snake or Kala used to place its
precious gem on the linga to adorn the lord. In this way, they
all worshipped the Vayu linga separately without knowing
what the other was doing.
One day, the spider had built a very big and thick web
around the deity to protect it from dust and weather whilethe snake places its gem. The elephant not knowing this and
assuming that this form of puja by Sri and Kala is a
desecration by the seeming miscreants, pours water on it
and cleans it up. This causes a war between the three. The
snake punishes the elephant by entering its trunk and in the
process kills itself while the elephant runs amok and hits its
trunk and head against the shiva linga. During this struggle,
the spider is squashed against the linga by the elephant's

trunk and the elephant dies due to the snake's poison. Lord
Shiva then appeared and gave moksha to all three of them
for their selfless devotion. The spider takes rebirth as a great
king while the elephant and the snake reaches heaven forsatisfying all its karma.
This king continues his good work from his previous birth and
builds a variety of temples that seeks to protect the
underlying deity with tons of stones. It is interesting to note
that all his temples, keep the deity beyond the access of an
elephant. In this temple, access to the deity is through a
narrow passage in the side of the building that prevents anelephant from extending its trunk over the lord from any
side.
This temple is considered as the Kailash of the South or
Dakshina Kailasam.

him and granted him mukti.[3]
Sri Kalahasti temple, situated 36 km away fromTirupati is
famous for its Vayu linga, one of the Panchabhoota Sthalams,representing wind. The inner temple was constructed around

South or Dakshin Kailash. Saivaite saints of the first centurysang about this temple.
[edit] History
This temple is one of the most impressive Siva temples in
India. Vishwakarma Brahmin Sthapthis who sculpted this
temple need to be eulogized for their excellent architectural
cognizance. This temple features an enormous,
ancient gopuram (entrance tower) over the main gate. The
tower is 36.5 m (120 ft) high. The entire temple is carved out of
the side of a huge stone hill.
The initial structure of this temple was constructed by
the Pallava dynasty in the 5th century. The Chola kings and
the Vijayanagara kings also gave great help for the temple
development. Like other great temples, the construction periodof Sri Kalahasthi temple lasted centuries. Around the 10th

the main structure.
The outer walls and the four gopurams were constructed in the
period of Sri Veera Narasimharayar in 12th century. The 120feet (37 m) high main gopuram and the 100 pillar mandapam
were constructed by Krishnadevaraya, the Vijayanagara king in
1516. Mr.Ramanathan Nattukkottai Chettiyar of Devakkottai,
developed the structure as it is today by spending one
million dollars in 1912.[citation

har praised the deity in their hymnsthe tevaram.

windows. One can see the flames on several ghee lamps flicker
as if blown by moving air. The linga is white and is
considered Swayambhu, or self-manifested.
Kalahasti is surrounded by two sacred hills. The Durgama
temple is on the northern hill. On the south hill there is the
shrine of Kannabeswara, in memory of the Sage Kannappa, who
offered his eyes to the Lord. There is also a temple dedicated to
Lord Subramanya on one of the surrounding hills.
The main linga is untouched by human hands, even by the
priest. Abhisheka (bathing) is done by pouring a mixture of
water, milk, camphor, and panchamrita. Sandal paste, flowers
and the sacred thread are offered to the utsava-murti, not the
main linga.

while the elephant runs amok and hits its trunk and head
against the shiva linga. During this struggle, the spider is
squashed against the linga by the elephant's trunk and the

[edit] Goddess Parvati's curse
There are several other legends connected to the glory of thetemple. Prominent among them is ofParvati who was cursed by
Lord Shiva to discard her heavenly body and assume the
human form. To get rid off the above curse Parvati did a long
penance here. Pleased with her deep devotion Lord Shiva again
restored her body a hundred times better than her previous
heavenly body and initiated various mantras including the
Panchakshari. Consequent of this, Parvati gained and came to
be known as Shiva-GnanamGnana Prasunamba or GnanaPrasunambika Devi.
[edit] Gnanakala
Cursed to became a ghost Ghanakala prayed at Srikalahasti for
15 years and after chanting Bhairava Mantra many times Lord
Shiva restored her original form.

[edit] The Devas
Mayura, Chandra and Devendra were also freed from their
curses after taking bath in the river Swarnamukhi and prayed
at Srikalahasti.
[edit] Markandeya
To Bhakta Markandeya, Lord Shiva appeared in Sri Kalahasti
and preached that a Guru alone could make esoteric teachings
and, therefore he is Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara.
[edit] Kannappa
At Sri Kalahasti, Lord Shiva tested the unshakable devotion of
Thinnadu (Later became Bhaktha Kannappa) before the sages
gathered at SriKalahasti. With his divine power, Lord Shiva
created a tremor and the roof tops of the temple began to fall.
All the sages ran away from the scene except Kannappa who
covered the linga with his body to prevent it from any damage.
In another incident, Kannappa plucked out one of his eyes andplaced in the eye of Linga which was oozing with blood and
tears. When the tears and the blood were still trickling from
another eye, Kannappa decided to remove his second eye and
placed one of his feet on the spot of the right eye of the Shiva
Linga. Before he could pull out his second eye with the arrow,
Lord Shiva appeared and restored his eye while granting him a
boon to occupy a place close to him.
According to Swami Sivananda's book, Sixty-Three Nayanar
Saints, pg. 44, some Saivite traditions believe that Kannappa
was the reincarnation ofArjuna. Arjuna, worshipped Siva for
seeking the Pasupatha Astra and failed to recognize Him in the
form of a hunter. Thus, according to this tradition, Arjuna had to
be born as a hunter and adore the Lord before attaining final
liberation.
