Description The Kalyana (Western) Chalukyas (AD 973–1189 A.D) oversaw a golden age of Kannada and Sanskrit literature, characterized by the rise of Vachana Sahitya, the maturation of Champukavya style and significant with legal treatises. With also valuable contributions included like Kavi Chakravarti Ranna’s Gadayuddha, Durgasimha's Panchatantra and Vijnaneshwara's Mitakshara- Hindu law supported by royal patronage for poets. Kalyana Chalukyas as well as, The Western Chalukya Empire ruled most of the western Deccan, South India, between the 10th and 12th centuries. This Kannadiga dynasty is sometimes called the Kalyani Chalukya after its regal capital at Kalyani, today's Basavakalyan in the modern Bidar District of Karnataka state, and alternatively the Later Chalukya from its theoretical relationship to the 6th century Chalukya dynasty of Badami. The dynasty is called Western Chalukyas to differentiate from the contemporaneous Eastern Chalukyas of Vengi, a separate dynasty. Prior to the rise of these Chalukyas, the Rashtrakuta empire of Manyakheta controlled most of Deccan and Central India for over two centuries. In 973, seeing confusion in the Rashtrakuta Empire after a successful invasion of their capital by the ruler of the Paramara dynasty of Malwa, Tailapa II, a feudatory of the Rashtrakuta Dynasty ruling from Bijapur region defeated his overlords and made Manyakheta his capital. The dynasty quickly rose to power and grew into an empire under Someshvara I who moved the capital to Kalyani.
