Ahmednagar Sultanate

The Ahmednagar Sultanate was a medieval Indian kingdom established in 1490 by Malik Ahmad Nizam Shah, serving as a prominent regional power in present-day Maharashtra. It was part of the Deccan Sultanates, known for resisting the expansion of the Mughal Empire. The sultanate was characterized by its strategic location, military strength, and cultural contributions, including architecture and administration. It played a significant role in the history of South India, maintaining independence until the late 17th century, when it was eventually absorbed into the Mughal Empire.
