{{Unreferenced section|date=February 2021}}

[[File:Siddesvara Temple Shrine at Haveri.JPG|150px|thumb|right|Typical Western Chalukya ''dravida'' ''[[Vimana (shrine)|Vimana]]'' at [[Siddhesvara Temple|Siddheshwara temple]] in Haveri, Karnataka]]

Core area of [[Western Chalukya]] monuments includes the places [[Badami]], [[Sudi]], [[Annigeri]], [[Mahadeva Temple (Itagi)]], [[Gadag]], [[Lakkundi]], [[Lakshmeshwar]], [[Dambal]], Haveri, [[Bankapura]], Rattahalli, Kuruvatti, Bagali, [[Balligavi]], [[Chaudayyadanapura]], [[Galaganatha]], [[Hangal]]. It was possible because Soapstone is found in abundance in these areas. Haveri also comes under Core area of [[Western Chalukya]] architectural activity.

History of Haveri district dates to pre-historic period. About 1300 stone writings of different rulers like [[Chalukyas]], [[Rastrakutas]] are found in the district. [[Bankapura]] Challaketaru, Guttavula Guttaru, [[Kadambas of Hangal]] and Nurumbad are some of the well known Samanta Rulers. Devendramunigalu the teacher of Kannada [[Adikavi Pampa]] and Ajitasenacharya the teacher of [[Ranna (Kannada poet)|Ranna]] [[Chavundaraya]] lived in [[Bankapura]].
This was also the second capital of [[Hoysala]] Vishnuvardhana. Guttaru ruled during latter part of the 12th century and up to end of the 13th century from Guttavol (Guttal) village as Mandaliks of [[Chalukya]], independently for some time and as Mandaliks of [[Seunas]] of Devagiri. Shasanas found in [[Chaudayyadanapura]] (Choudapur), a village near Guttal, reveal that Mallideva was Mandalika of 6th Vikramaditya of Chalukyas. Jatacholina, under the leadership of Mallideva built the ''Mukteshwara temple'' at [[Chaudayyadanapura]] (Choudapur).

[[Kadambas]] of Nurumbad during the period of [[Kalyani Chalukyas]] ruled about 100 villages with ''Rattihalli'' as their capital.
