Bahamani Kingdom: 1346-1689AD

After Tughlaq lost power in Deccan, Hasan Gangu (Bahaman Shah) established the Bahamani kingdom. Firuz Shah Bahamani and Mahmud Gawan were the most remarkable figures in the Bahamani kingdom. Bahamani governors later became independent and established:
Adil Shahi of Bijapur
Qutub Shahi of Golconda
Nizam Shahi of Ahemadnagar
Barid Shahi of Bidar
Imad Shahi of Berar

The famous Chandbibi was from the Nizam family. In 1595, when Mughals attacked Ahemadnagar, she led the Nizam's army. Though she led her army to victory, she was killed in the battle.

All the kingdoms came together to attack the Vijayanagara Empire and defeated it in 1565. In 1574, Nizam Shah annexed Imad Shahi and in 1619, Adil Shah annexed Barid Shahi. Bahamani Kingdom came to an end, after Aurangzeb conquered Bijapur (1686 AD) and Golconda (1689 AD).

GolGumbaz and Charminar are examples of great construtions during this time.
