Building 'Kalyaana Mandapas' was a notable feature in the temple construction in the kingdom of

Mentions that Chalukyas built temples and that 'mandapa-type' caves are preserved at Aihole, showing the Chalukya architectural vocabulary included mandapas.

A student could inspect plans/photographs of Chalukya temples at Aihole/Pattadakal to see whether those mandapas are specifically kalyana (marriage) halls.

States that regional temple building featured mandapas/pavilions and that Chalukyas are among dynasties with a long temple-building tradition, establishing mandapas as a common element in the region.

Use this general rule to check Chalukya-period temple descriptions/inscriptions for references to kalyana rituals or named kalyana-mandapa structures.

Defines a kalyana (kalyana/kalyanamandapa) as a mandapa meant to celebrate divine weddings and illustrates it in South Indian temple context (Vijayanagara examples), giving a clear definition and regional precedent.

Compare this definition to architectural elements at Chalukya temple sites (e.g., look for a hall described or depicted as 'kalyana' in Chalukya inscriptions or site plans).

Says the kalyanamandapam was a chief characteristic of Vijayanagara architecture and names specific temples where it appears, indicating the feature was regionally important though attested strongly for a later period.

A student can use the chronological note (Vijayanagara = later) to ask whether kalyana mandapas appear earlier (Chalukya period) by checking dated Chalukya monuments.

Describes Pallava rock-cut temples as 'mandapa type' with pillared halls in front of shrines, showing mandapa forms existed in South India before/around Chalukya times.

Use this pattern to hypothesize that similar mandapa forms (and possibly specialized functions like kalyana) could be present in neighbouring Chalukya architecture and then verify at Chalukya sites.
