Chalukyas of Badami

With the decline of the Gupta dynasty and their immediate successors in northern India in the sixth century, major changes began to happen in the area south of the Vindyas – the Deccan and Tamilaham.

The age of small kingdoms had given way to large empires in this region.

The Chalukya dynasty was established by Pulakesi I in 543.

Pulakesi I takes Vatapi (modern Badami in Bagalkot district, Karnataka) under his control and makes it his capital.

Pulakesi I and his descendants are referred to as "Chalukyas of Badami".

They rule over an empire that comprises the entire state of Karnataka and most of Andhra Pradesh in the Deccan.
