About The Book
Temples of the Early Chalukyas by George Michell offers a thorough and definitive study of the temples built by the Early Chalukyas, one of the most significant dynasties in Indian architectural history. Spanning from the 6th to the 8th centuries, these temples are known for their remarkable condition, unique construction techniques, and the intricate beauty of their figural and decorative carvings.
This volume serves as the first comprehensive publication dedicated to these temples, located in Badami, Mahakuta, Aihole, and Pattadakal in central Karnataka, all near the Malprabha River. Michell’s extensive research is paired with more than 150 newly commissioned photographs by Surendra Kumar, capturing the temples in their full grandeur. Additionally, the book includes forty meticulously measured drawings by the author, providing an unparalleled graphic documentation of these architectural wonders.
In addition to its visual beauty, this book offers insight into the architectural and artistic innovations of the Early Chalukyas, who played a crucial role in shaping India’s religious and cultural landscape. This work is a must-have for historians, architects, and those interested in the rich heritage of Indian temple architecture.
