About the book
This volume—prepared under the ICHR’s “Inscriptions of India” programme—presents the corpus of inscriptions associated with the Calukya (Chalukya) rulers of Badami (c. 543–757 A.D.). It collects royal prasastis, grant inscriptions and miscellaneous records recovered from rock-cuts, temples, pillars and copper plates across the Chalukya domains; the texts are edited, summarized and accompanied by plates, indexes and explanatory notes. The compilation includes inscriptions in Sanskrit, Kannada and Telugu and provides crucial evidence on polity, administration, land grants, religious endowments, social organization and temple patronage during the Early Chalukya age. Designed for scholars and field researchers, the book is both a primary source collection and a reference tool for studying the political and cultural history of early medieval Deccan.
