Chalukya Architecture refers to the distinctive style of temple construction that flourished in southern India during the reign of the Chalukya dynasty from the 6th to the 12th centuries. This architectural style is characterized by intricate carvings, elaborate sculptures, and the use of sandstone and granite. Notable examples include the Badami Caves and the temples at Pattadakal, which showcase a blend of northern and southern Indian architectural elements. The Chalukyas were known for their innovative designs, including the development of the Dravidian style of architecture. Their temples often featured towering spires, ornate pillars, and detailed friezes depicting mythological scenes. The influence of Chalukya architecture can be seen in later styles, making it a significant part of India's architectural heritage.
