Srikalahasti Temple, Hindu temple in Srikalahasti, India.

Srikalahasti is a large Hindu temple in the town of the same name in Andhra Pradesh state, India, dedicated to the god Shiva. The complex includes a tall tower at the entrance, several courtyards with carved pillars, and an inner sanctuary with a constantly burning oil lamp beside the main figure.

The Chola emperor Rajendra Chola I renovated the temple and built its main structure around the 11th century CE, and Kulottunga Chola I constructed the southern entrance gopurams. The 120-foot main gopuram and the hundred-pillared hall were commissioned under Vijayanagara king Krishnadevaraya in 1516 CE. After the gopuram collapsed on 26 May 2010, it was rebuilt and consecrated on 18 January 2017.

The name Srikalahasti combines Sri (spider), Kala (snake) and Hasti (elephant): the three creatures that, by tradition, worshipped the linga here and were freed. The temple is a Rahu-Ketu kshetra, and its Rahu-Ketu pooja is sought to ward off the astrological effects of the two eclipse-causing demigods. It stays open during solar and lunar eclipses, when other temples close.

The town of Srikalahasti sits about one hour north of Tirupati and can be reached by local bus or taxi. The site is best visited on weekdays in the morning or late afternoon when crowds are smaller and temperatures more comfortable.

A small flame in the inner room flickers constantly even though no outside wind enters, which worshippers interpret as a sign of divine presence. The site's name derives from three animals – spider, snake, and elephant – that according to tradition practiced devotion here.
