Kannada dynasty that seized the western Deccan from the Rashtrakutas in 973 under Tailapa II, ruling first from Manyakheta and later from Kalyani; a distinct polity from the contemporaneous Eastern Chalukyas of Vengi.
Went into terminal decline in the mid-12th century under pressure from the Kalachuris of Kalyani and the rising Hoysalas and Yadavas; effectively extinguished by 1189/1200.
Dedicated monograph specifically on this dynasty, with a title that matches our sourced start year (973) almost exactly.
