Srikalahasti Temple

Sri Kalahasteeswara Temple in Srikalahasti is one of the Pancha Bhoota Stalams representing Vayu (Wind). Built between the 5th and 12th centuries, this ancient temple is renowned for the Rahu-Ketu puja performed here, the only temple in India where this ritual is conducted. The inner sanctum lamp flickers without any wind, demonstrating the Vayu element. The temple is carved out of the face of a hill and features stunning Vijayanagara-era architecture with its massive 120-foot rajagopuram.
