Eastern Chalukyas, or
Chalukyas of Vengi (Kannada), were a
South Indian dynasty whose kingdom was located in the present day
Andhra Pradesh. Their capital was Vengi (
Pedavegi and
Denduluru, near
Eluru) and their dynasty lasted for around 500 years from the 7th century until c. 1130 C.E. when the Vengi kingdom merged with the
Chola empire. The Vengi kingdom was continued to be ruled by Eastern Chalukyan kings under the protection of the Chola empire until 1189 C.E., when the kingdom succumbed to the
Hoysalas and the
Yadavas. They had their capital originally at Vengi now (Pedavegi, Chinavegi and Denduluru) near
Eluru of the
West Godavari district end later changed to Rajamahendravaram (
Rajamundry).
