The Bahamani dynasty ruled from 1347 to 1526 for almost 180 years.  In AD 1347 an independent Muslim State, the Bahamani kingdom was established in South India by Ala-Ud-Din Hasan Gangu by revolting against Delhi Sultanate. By the end of 15th century, the Bahamani rule was plagued with fights and ended with the disintegration of Bahamani Kingdom into 5 states.

Daultabad was made the capital of Delhi Sultanate from 1327 CE to 1335 CE and renamed it as Daultabad in 1330 CE under the reign of Muhammad Bin Tughlaq. Devgiri became independent in 1347 from Delhi Sultanate.

In the Bahamani administration, the Wazir served as the chief minister or prime minister, overseeing the administration under the authority of the Sultan.

The Bahamani Sultanate was founded by Ala-ud-Din Bahman Shah in 1347 AD after a revolt against the Delhi Sultanate.

The architecture of the Bahamani Sultans is characterized by the Indo-Saracenic style, which blends Islamic architectural elements with local Indian influences.
