Jaunpur Kingdom

The Jaunpur Kingdom was a medieval Indian state that existed from the 14th to the 16th century, centered around the city of Jaunpur in present-day Uttar Pradesh. Established by Sultan Firoz Shah Tughlaq’s successors, it became a prominent Muslim-ruled territory known for its cultural, architectural, and political achievements. The kingdom was characterized by its distinctive Indo-Islamic art, including notable mosques and monuments, and played a significant role in regional politics and trade during its time. It eventually declined and was absorbed into larger empires, leaving a lasting legacy in Indian history and architecture.
