Chalukyas

The Chalukyas were a significant dynasty that ruled parts of South and Central India between the 6th and 12th centuries. They are known for their contributions to art, architecture, and culture, particularly for their intricately carved temples and rock-cut caves. The dynasty is divided into three main branches: the Western Chalukyas, Eastern Chalukyas, and Badami Chalukyas. Their rule saw the flourishing of Kannada and Telugu literature, as well as advancements in administration and society. The Chalukyas left a lasting legacy that influenced subsequent kingdoms and the region's historical development.
