There have also been artists like V.S. Gaitonde, Jeram Patel, Nasreen Mohammedi and S.H. Raza, who have been totally devoted to the non-representational art.

| These discoveries establish the Alampur temples to be the proto-types originated and developed by the Chalukyas in their hegemony at Aihole, Pattadakal and Badami in Karnataka, independently of any proximate Gupta influence.
Also, importantly, by the transmission of influences through the political incursions of the Chalukyan kings into the Kalinga territory (historic orissa), its famed temples at Mukhalingam were mediately derived. |
