Qutb Shahi

The Qutb Shahi dynasty was a Muslim kingdom that ruled parts of southern India, mainly present-day Telangana, from the early 16th to the late 17th century. Known for their cultural contributions, they built impressive architectural landmarks like the Golconda Fort and Qutb Shahi Tombs. They fostered a rich blend of Persian, Telugu, and Urdu influences, promoting art, music, and commerce. Their reign contributed significantly to regional history before the area was incorporated into the Mughal Empire.
