_________ was the capital of Chalukya dynasty.

Badami

The correct answer is Option 1- Badami

Badami was the capital of the Chalukya dynasty from 543 to 755 CE. It is located in the Bagalkot district of Karnataka, India. The Chalukyas were a powerful dynasty that ruled over much of the Deccan region of India. They are known for their contributions to art, architecture, and literature.

Kanchipuram was the capital of the Pallava dynasty, not the Chalukya dynasty. Pataliputra and Rajgir were capitals of the Maurya dynasty, not the Chalukya dynasty.
