Chalukya - four interconnected dynasties that dominated the southern and central areas of the Deccan between the rivers Kaveri and Narmada (mainly around the modern state of Karnataka ) from the VI to XII centuries.
It is customary to distinguish between early Chalukyas (c. 550–642), western Chalukyas (from Badami or Vatapi , c. 655–753), eastern Chalukyas (from Wenga, 615–1070) and late Chalukyas (913–1187). Their main rivals and enemies were the Rastrakuts in the west and the Pallavas in the east of the Dean.
The reign of Chalukya was marked by the flourishing of literature in the Kannada language and large-scale temple construction, centered around Pattadakal . Pattadakal temples of the 8th century are recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site .
