Graves of Chalukyan rulers have been found in a village near Huligemmanakolla in Pattadakal of Bagalkot district. The discovery has been made by explorer Manjunath Sullolli who says that the place is nothing but where graves of the family members of Chalukyan rulers are located. Mr. Sullolli said that though the Chalukyan kings built marvellous monuments and temples, there are no clear details available of the places where they lived. According to Mr. Sullolli, these 11 smaller temples are nothing but the graves of the family members of the Chalukyan kings. Thus, it is most likely that these small temple-like structures are nothing but the graves of the family members of the Chalukyan kings.
