# List of Bahmani Sultans

The Bahmani Sultanate (c. 1347–1527) was a Muslim empire that ruled the Deccan Plateau in Southern India.
The kingdom came to power in 1347, when it was established by Zafar Khan. The Bahmani Sultanate shared border with neighboring rival Vijayanagara Empire. The Sultanate would begin its decline under the reign of Mahmood Shah. In 1518, the Bahmani Sultanate split up into the Deccan sultanates, ending its 180-year rule over the Deccan.
