Eastern Cālukya dynasty
Quick Summary
The Eastern Chalukya dynasty was an Indian dynasty that ruled in Vengi, located in present-day eastern Andhra Pradesh, from approximately 624 to 1070 CE. This dynasty originated when Pulakeshin II, a ruler of the Western Chalukyas, conquered the kingdom of Vengi and granted it to his brother, Kubja Vishnuvardhana, who became the first Eastern Chalukya ruler.1
The Eastern Chalukyas were frequently involved in conflicts with powerful neighbouring dynasties, including the Pallavas and the Cholas. They eventually became united with the Chola dynasty in 1070 CE under Kulottunga I, who inherited both crowns.12
