Srikalahasti Temple
Srikalahasti Temple is located in the town of Srikalahasti, in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. It is one of the most famous Shiva temples in South India, and is said to be the site where Kannappa was ready to offer both his eyes to cover blood flowing from the Siva linga before the Lord Siva stopped him and granted him mukti.〔(Sree Kalahasti – One of the Pancha Bhoota Shrines of Shiva ). www.srikalahastiswaraswamy.webs.com Retrieved on 1 September 2012.〕

==Etymology==
Srikalahasti is named after the staunch devotees of Lord Shiva. They were the Spider (''Sri''), the Serpent (''Kala'') and the Elephant (''Hasti''). Appeased with their unflinching devotion, it is believed that Lord Shiva gave them a boon that their names be merged with the ''Vayulinga'' and called as ''Srikalahasteeswara''. Kalahasti is a Sanskritization of the Dravidian word 'Kaalatti' meaning 'fate'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= For the Lord of the Animals, Poems from the Telugu: The Kāḷahastīśvara Śatakamu of Dhūrjạti )
