The Battle of Pullalur was fought between Chalukya king Pulakesin II (Reigned 610-642) and the Pallava king Mahendravarman I resulting in the victory of the former. The battle took place at Pullalur (now in the Kanchipuram district in Tamil Nadu) in about 618–19.
This was the beginning of the long-drawn-out struggle
between the Pallavas and their sworn enemies the Chalukyas of Vatapi (early
western Chalukyas), who ruled north of them. The struggle which became
necessary for the mastery of south India, lingered through the generations.
Who won the Battle of Pullalur is in the realm of debate. Both
sides claim victories.
It seems that though Pulakeshin II won the Battle of Pullalur was not decisive.
