Quick Summary
tomb of GhiyÄs al-DÄ«n
Tomb of GhiyÄs al-DÄ«n, Delhi, India.
GhiyÄth al-DÄ«n Tughluq was the founder of the Tughluq dynasty, which ruled the Delhi sultanate in India from 1320 to 1414. He came to power after overthrowing the Khalji dynasty. Tughluq's reign marked a significant period for the Delhi sultanate, as it became an imperial power under the Khalji dynasty before his rule. The Tughluq dynasty's influence was later diminished by Timur's invasion in 1398-99, which shattered the sultanate's power in north India.12
