Vikramaditya I

Vikramaditya I recaptured the Chalukya capital Badami from the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I, who had occupied it after defeating Pulakeshin II. This victory restored Chalukya sovereignty and marked the revival of the dynasty.

After recapturing Badami, Vikramaditya I re-established Chalukya authority over their former territories in the Deccan. He issued inscriptions and patronized temples, signaling the dynasty's return to power.
