Parameswaravarman I was a
Chalukya capital at Vatapi. Parameswaravarman was an efficient and capable ruler, known for his military exploits, his love for poetry and his devotion to the God Siva
, to whom he erected many temples.
Parameswaravarman's reign was marked by revived conflicts with the
Chalukyas, led by Vikramaditya I who had fought against his grandfather and was now allied with many rulers . In 674 CE, the two armies met at Peruvalanallur near Tiruchirappalli and Parameswaravarman was victorious stupendously despite facing a huge coalition.[citation needed

He was succeeded by his son Narasimhavarman II also called Rajasimha in 695 CE.
