Darsanam

For the convenience of the devotees, Srikalahasthi Devasthanam provides Sarva Darshanam (Free Darshan) where every pilgrim can have the divine darshan of Sri Kalahasteeswara Swamy and Goddess Gnana Prasunambika Devi..

Prasadam

After having darshan, every devotee will be provided with Srivari Prasadam at the exit of the temple premises. Along with prasadam, packaged drinking water will also be distributed so that pilgrims can refresh themselves.

Annaprasada Vitharana

The temple provides free meals (Nithya Annadanam) daily at the Annadanam Hall, located near the temple premises. Annaprasada Vitharana begins around 11:00 a.m. every day, and all devotees can avail themselves of this sacred service.

Sacred Vibhoothi

As a special maha prasad, the temple distributes Sacred Vibhoothi to devotees, signifying the blessings of Lord Kalahasteeswara. This Vibhoothi is prepared reverently and offered to pilgrims after key pujas and homams performed inside the temple.

Information Centre

To guide pilgrims and provide assistance, Srikalahasthi Devasthanam has set up an Information Centre near the main temple entrance. Devotees may approach the centre for details on Darshan, Seva, Accommodation, Prasadam distribution, and Lost & Found enquiries.

Cloak Room Facility

As bags, mobile phones, and electronic items are not allowed inside the sanctum premises, pilgrims must deposit them at the Cloak Room situated near the queue complex. A token system is provided, and devotees are requested to carefully retain their token to reclaim their belongings safely.

Kesha Khandanam (Tonsuring)

The Devasthanam provides tonsuring (Kesha Khandanam) facilities dedicated to Lord Kalahasteeswara, as offering hair is considered an act of surrender and devotion. The Kalyana Katta Tonsure Hall is located near the temple approach road..

Medical Services

An Allopathic Hospital with ambulance and first-aid facilities is available near the temple premises to support devotees in case of medical emergencies. Required medicines will be supplied free of cost.
