About Sri Kalahasti Temple: Sri Kalahasti is one of the Panchabhoota Sthalams, representing the element of Wind. It's one of the most famous Shiva temples in South India, renowned for its self-manifested air-linga and is considered especially powerful for Rahu-Ketu related issues. The temple is also associated with Kannappa, one of the 63 Saivite Nayanars, who offered his eyes to stop the bleeding of the Shiva linga.

1. Worshipping a silver snake (sarpam)
2. Offering prayers to Lord Shiva
