Srikalahasti is one of South India’s most revered pilgrimage destinations, located in Tirupati district of Andhra Pradesh, on the banks of the sacred Swarnamukhi River. The town is world-famous for the Sri Kalahasteeswara Temple, one of the Pancha Bhoota Sthalams, representing the element Vayu (Air) among the five natural elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether.
The temple’s spiritual significance, rich legends, and unique architectural features attract lakhs of devotees every year from across India.
The presiding deity, Lord Shiva, is worshipped here as Kalahasteeswara, while Goddess Parvati is revered as Gnanaprasunambika Devi. What makes this temple unique is the Vayu Lingam, which is believed to be self-manifested and does not have a traditional Abhishekam like other Shiva temples.
Inside the sanctum, devotees can observe:
A lamp flame flickering without wind, symbolizing the presence of the air element
Continuous movement of sacred cloth placed near the lingam
This phenomenon has strengthened the temple’s reputation as a place of divine energy and spiritual power.
Srikalahasti is globally known for its Rahu–Ketu Sarpa Dosha Nivarana Pooja, performed daily in the temple. Devotees believe that performing this ritual helps:
Remove obstacles in marriage
Improve career growth
Reduce delays in childbirth
Relieve ancestral and karmic issues
People from all over India and abroad visit Srikalahasti specifically for this powerful pooja, making it one of the most important astrological temples in South India.
