In 1323, the city of Warangalā€”the capital of the Kakatiya dynastyā€”was captured by the forces of the Delhi sultanate. This conquest was carried out by Ulugh Khan (later known as Muhammad ibn Tughluq), who led the campaign on behalf of his father, Ghiyās al-DÄ«n Tughluq, the founder of the Tughluq dynasty. This event marked the end of Kakatiya rule in the region.
