This dynasty is called the Western Chalukya to differentiate them from their contemporary Eastern Chalukyas of Vengi. This Kannadiga dynasty, known for its linear architecture, mostly built on the banks of Tungabhadra River. The above shown gold fanam was issued by the western Chalukyan King Jagadikamalla.
