Bahmani architecture

Bahmani architecture refers to the style developed by the Bahmani Sultanate in South India during the 14th and 15th centuries. It blends Indo-Islamic design elements, featuring large domes, minarets, intricate arches, and decorative stone carvings. These structures often include mosques, palaces, and tombs and are characterized by their symmetry, use of geometric patterns, and grand proportions. The architecture reflects a synthesis of local Indian building techniques with Persian and Central Asian influences brought by Islamic culture, creating distinctive and culturally significant monuments that demonstrate both religious and political power.
