Parameshvaravarman I was king of the Pallava dynasty from about 670 to 695. His reign was dominated by renewed war with the Chalukya king Vikramaditya I, who invaded Pallava territory and occupied Kanchipuram, but Parameshvaravarman recovered and drove the Chalukyas back. A devotee of Shiva, he was succeeded by his son Narasimhavarman II Rajasimha.
