The history of the Srikalahastisvara temple can be traced back at least to the 7th century A.D. as evidenced by the Tamil sacred literature Devaram and Tiruvacakam. The Naraymars sung its glory to their heart`s content. As the region in which the temple of Srikalahastisvara formed part of the Chola empire its epigraphical history starts with the appearance of their inscriptions from 1000-01 A. D. Since then not only the Cholas but also their successors belonging to different dynasties made significant contribution to the architectural and economic growth of the temple. Because of its location between the banks of the river Suvarnamukhi on one side and a hill on the other its architecture presents different and noteworthy features. The architectural growth of the temple can be followed and studied with interesting results. The staunch Vaishnavite emperors of the Vijayanagara dynasty, namely Krishna-devaraya and Achyutaraya made munifieient endowments to this Saiva temple. The keen interest taken by these rulers in the structural growth of the temple is evidenced by the addition of gopuras and mandapas which transformed it into a large complex. The above noted aspects and the unique-ness of the temple have been discussed at length in this work. it is hoped that this will create more interest among the scholars for further study on this great temple, which houses the god known as Sikalahastisvara, distinguished as Vayu-linga, one of the manifestations of the Five Elements of nature (Panchabhutas).
