In the second century a Western Asian tribe known as the Pallavas established itself as a ruling race in the East and South of India, where for many centuries it carried on an incessant struggle with its neighbours. The great Chalukhyan King, Pulikesin II, inflicted many defeats on them, but in his old age Narasimhavarman, or Mahamalla Pallava, an important ruler, overthrew him in 642, and for a short time the Pallavas were supreme in the Chalukhyan dominions.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph captures the historic moment of The Defeat of Pulikesin II Chalukhya by Mahamalla Pallava at Badami in AD 642. The intricate details and dynamic composition bring to life the intense battle between these two powerful rulers from ancient India.
In the second century, the Pallavas rose to power in East and South India, engaging in a fierce rivalry with their neighbors. Despite Pulikesin II's previous victories over them, it was Mahamalla Pallava who ultimately emerged victorious in this significant conflict.
