Kalanos also spelled Calanus (c. 398 – 323 BCE) was a Hindu Rishi (sage) who accompanied Alexander the Great to Persis and later committed suicide by self-immolation. It was from Kalanos that Alexander came to know of Dandamis the leader of their group whom Alexander later went to meet in the forest.
