The temple itself is a magnificent work of architecture. Explore the temple for a while. Because they were protected by nature from deterioration, you can see that the inside pillars are as new as they were hundreds of years ago.
Because the exterior temple was built in the 12th century by the Chola kings and the Vijayanagara kings, and the inner temple was built sometime in the fifth century, please organize your trip so that you can spend some time admiring the temple’s aesthetic and spiritual grandeur. Vayu is revered as Kalahasteeswara and takes the form of Lord Shiva.

Mythological Story Behind Srikalahasti Temple:
Srikalahasti Temple has a fascinating history. The three followers of the Elephant, Snake, and Spider once performed their own kind of worship for Lord Shiva. In the same way that an elephant will offer the Lord abhishekam by carrying water from a nearby pond with its trunk, a spider will worship the Lord by shielding his Siva Lingam with its web, and a snake will offer abhishekam by depositing its most prized Naga mani on the Lord’s lingam.
These three devotees accidentally bumped into each other while performing their worship one fine day. The elephant broke the web by splashing water from its trunk since it believed that spider worship was improper. As a result of seeing this, a snake and a spider were enraged and entered an elephant’s trunk.
