This Gopuram was reportedly built in 1516 on the right side of main temple by great emperor Srikrisna Devaraya.

As is well known there are five temples in south which are said to control five Tatwa in form of siva. One in AP and 4 in Tamilnadu. Most astrologers are aware Kalahasti controls Vayu tatwa. Meaning of Sri kala hasti is said to be a combination of Sarpa and Elephant. Thus it is one of the most revered temples. The other four temples are at Tiruvannamalai controlling Fire element, Chidambaram (without linga representing akash element next at Thiruvanikkaval controlling water element and last is kancheepuram controlling Earth element.

Now in this background falling of any building is undoubtedly a bad omen but here it is the fact reported that Main temple is not affected. Is it not the grace of shiva?.

Now let me come to Gopuram.

It is gateway in simple terms. It has lived for about 494 years .May be 500 years ago muhurta for construction could have been chosen.No structure on earth can be permanent, We do not have data when muhurtam for gopuram was chosen and gateway constructed.

We can always find astrological coincidences for events and this event is no exception.But the fact remains for last ten years gateway was slowly slowly falling neither Government nor trust cared to take help of modern technology advances and now we say it is bad omen.

one can justify but the fact remains Lord shiva is kind and will spare humanity from calamity .

Chart of fall.

Kalahasthi Temple incident time Chart

Gopuram  is human construction, So normally one can assume it has no soul. So chart of collapse cannot be compared to Niryan ( chart at time of death ) chart for humans.

Mayamatam describes gopuram being maximum of seven stories. It is said that Cidambaram gateway dated 13 th century also has seven stories.

Gopur has similar importance but I am not sure if it is part of deity as several parts of temples are treated as body parts of deity installed. Not being a part of main temple , logically it could not be a body part of deity.

However in the chart of fall, VIII and XII houses are vacant. SUN lord of IX is in VI house. Pratyadhi devata is shiva himself. It is accidental fall for neglect by humans. So no fear to life of humans and animals on Earth could be deduced.

Your comments are welcome on this post!
