Source: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (history)Chalukya Dynasty (AD 543):—The Chalukyas, who succeeded the Vakatakas in the Deccan, were great lovers of art. Vikramaditya I (AD 655-681), the Chalukya king, claimed the conquest of Kanchi. The Eastern Chalukya King Vijayaditya II built one hundred and eight temples in his kingdom as a thanksgiving to Siva for his victories in one hundred and eight battles. The last important phase of art in South India is a mingling of late Chalukya and late Chola art under the Vijayanagara monarchs.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
