| | South Indian Temples-SRI KALAHASTI |
 | | The story of Kannappa, the tribesman, who worshipped the Lord in his rough way and earned salvation, is told by the great apostle and philosopher, Sri sankara, in his Sanskrit poem, "Sivananda Lahari", and by sekkizhar, the Tamil poet of the twelfth century, in his masterpiece, "Periya Puranam". | | | According to the first story, in the Kritayuga, the first story, the first of the four aeons of Hindu cosmography, a spider, which was a devotee of Lord Siva, came to live in this temple and began to adorn the sanctum with mansions secreted out of itself. | | | That the temple is of very ancient origin is clear from the fact the Nakkirar, a Tamil poet of the Sangam age, has sung of it. |
