Sultanate of Mysore

The Sultanate of Mysore was a powerful kingdom in southern India that existed from the 14th to the 17th century, later evolving into the Kingdom of Mysore. It was founded by the Yadava dynasty and later expanded under various rulers, notably Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan in the 18th century. Known for its military strength, administrative organization, and contributions to art and architecture, the Mysore sultanate played a significant role in regional history. It ultimately fell to the British in 1799, becoming part of British India, but its legacy influences Indian culture and history today.
