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.
