Kubja Vishnuvardhana was a strong prince and the brother of a famous king named Pulikeshin II. At first, Vishnuvardhana helped his brother rule the Vengi area in eastern Andhra Pradesh. He was like a special governor, or "viceroy," for his brother.

Later, Vishnuvardhana decided to make the Vengi area an independent country. This was the start of the Eastern Chalukya dynasty around the year 624. The Eastern Chalukyas ruled the Vengi kingdom for almost 500 years!

Vishnuvardhana's Rule

Vishnuvardhana's kingdom stretched from Nellore all the way to Visakhapatnam. He was given a special title: Vishamasiddhi. This means "conqueror of difficulties," showing how brave and skilled he was.

Vishnuvardhana also fought in wars alongside his brother, Pulikesin II. They fought against another powerful kingdom, the Pallavas, led by King Narasimhavarma I. Vishnuvardhana might have died in one of these battles in the year 641. After him, his son, Jayasimha I, became the next king.
