Sri Kalahasti temple
SriKalahasti temple is located 36 km away from Tirupati. The inner temple is constructed around 5th century and the outer temple was constructed in the 12th Century. It is the abode of Shiva, from whose head, according to legend, the Ganges is said to flow. Kalahasti is the ‘Kailas of the South’. This temple itself is a great architectural piece of art. The inside pillars are fresh as they were hundreds of years back because they were hidden from degradation by nature. SriKalahasti got its name because in days of yore a spider (sri), serpent (kala) and elephant (hasti) elephant worshipped Shiva with great devotion
