Explanation:
The Chalukya administration was highly centralized, unlike that of the Pallavas and the Cholas. Village autonomy was absent under the Chalukyas. The Chalukyas had a great maritime power. Pulakesin II had 100 ships in his navy. They also had a small standing army. The founder of the dynasty, Pulakesin I, performed the asvamedha sacrifice. The Badami Chalukyas were Brahmanical Hindus, but they gave respect to other religions. Ravikirti, the court poet of Pulakesin II, who composed the Aihole inscription, was a Jain.
