Wonders of early Chalukyas - Aihole
According to the tourism department of Karanataka, Karnataka is "one state, many words", but for the true archeological and ancient architectural lovers, Karanataka is "One state with abundant number of wonders" and Aihole ( which was also known as Ayyavole and Aryapura during the ancient times ) in Northern Karanataka is one of those wonderous places which contains cluster of wonders that were constructed from fifth century by early Chalukyas.
Like most of the Northern places of Karanataka, Aihole experiences hot and dry sub-tropical climate and this could be one of the reasons, why the early Chalukyas shifted their capital from Aihole to Vatapi ( the current day Badami ).
Aihole is situated in the Bagalkot district of Karanataka, India
