Chandraditya (IAST: Chandrādityā, r. c. 646-649 CE) was a king of the Chalukya dynasty of Vatapi that ruled in the Deccan region of peninsular India.
His father Pulakeshin II was a powerful emperor, who was defeated and most probably killed during a Pallava invasion.
Chandraditya is known from the Nerur and Kochre (or Kochri) grant inscriptions of his wife Vijaya-Bhattarika (alias Vijaya-Mahadevi).
[5] It is possible that Vikramaditya rose to prominence during this period, and became the de facto ruler, after having restored the dynasty's power as the supreme commander of the Chalukya army.
[6] Later, he formally ascended the Chalukya throne, possibly after the son of Chandraditya and Vijaya died (naturally or otherwise).
