🔆Chalukya School :
✅In the Deccan region, the Western Chalukyas succeeded the Vakatakas. It was a dynasty of great power. The well-known kings of this dynasty were Vikramaditya, Mangalesha, Pulakesi, and Keertivarman.
✅ Their main city was Badarni.
✅ The Vaishnava cave, located in Cave 3, is the most magnificent and regal building.
✅ It is renowned for its towering sculptures of many manifestations of Vishnu, including Varaha, Trivikrama, Narasimha, and Ananta Vishnu.
✅A cave's inscription states that Mangalesha, the cave's patron and a Bhagata Dharma adherent, had the entire cave decorated.
But the magnificent picture is currently just partially visible. Mangalesha is unmistakably depicted as a patron of the painter's work in the incomplete paintings from Badami. A scene from the palace is depicted on a huge panel.
