The Chalukya dynasty was a Classical Indian dynasty that ruled large parts of southern and central India between the 6th and the 12th centuries.[1]

During this period, they ruled as three related yet individual dynasties. The earliest dynasty, known as the Badami Chalukyas, ruled from Vatapi (modern Badami) from the middle of the 6th century. After the death of Badami Chalukya ruler Pulakeshin II, the Eastern Chalukyas became an independent kingdom in the eastern Deccan.[2] They ruled from Vengi until about the 11th century. The Western Chalukyas ruled from Kalyani (modern Basavakalyan) until the end of the 12th century.[3]

Rajaraja had support in the throne from the Cholas, whose influence grew significantly.
He supported Cholas against his cousins, the Western Chalukyas.
His own son managed to succeed in the Chola Empire, in 1070, as Kulottunga I, beginning the Later Cholas period,
in which the Chola Empire was ruled by a branch of the Eastern Chalukyas renamed Chola, which inherited Narendra's kingdom.
It's possible, then, that the following rulers were governors for the Chola Emperor ruling Eastern Chalukya territory:
Annexed to the Chola Empire (1061-1118); Annexed to the Western Chalukya Empire (since 1118)
Someshvara I Trilokyamalla 1042–1068 Kalyani (Western)
