Eastern Chalukyas

The Eastern Chalukyas were a historic South Indian dynasty that ruled parts of present-day Andhra Pradesh from the 7th to the 12th centuries. They emerged as a distinctive branch of the Chalukya empire, blending South Indian and Deccan cultural influences. Known for their contributions to art, architecture, and literature, they built impressive temples and promoted regional Telugu language and culture. The Eastern Chalukyas played a key role in shaping the region’s history, serving as a bridge between northern and southern Indian traditions, and fostering a rich heritage that influenced subsequent South Indian kingdoms.
