Srikalahasti Temple, Hindu temple in Srikalahasti, India.

The Srikalahasti Temple features a 120-foot high gopuram and a hundred-pillared hall with detailed stone carvings throughout the complex structure.

The inner sanctum dates from the 5th century, while Chola emperors constructed the outer temple sections during the 11th century CE.

The temple represents the element of wind as one of the Pancha Bhoota Stalams, with Lord Shiva worshipped in the form of Kalahasteeswara.

Located 36 kilometers north of Tirupati, the temple remains open daily from 6 AM to 9 PM and conducts regular Rahu Ketu ceremonies.

The temple contains a white stone linga made of camphor that maintains its form without burning, despite the material's natural flammable properties.
