Awadhi Sultanate

The Awadhi Sultanate was a medieval Indian kingdom centered around the city of Lucknow in present-day Uttar Pradesh, established in the early 16th century. It was founded by Muslim rulers who arrived after the decline of the Delhi Sultanate, and it played a significant role in regional politics, culture, and architecture. The sultanate was known for its contributions to arts, literature, and the development of a distinct Awadhi culture. It eventually became part of the Mughal Empire in the 16th century, influencing the region's history and heritage through its governance and cultural achievements.
