Answer: 1347
Notes: The Bahmani Kingdom, established in 1347 by Ala-ud-Din Bahman Shah, was South India's first independent Muslim kingdom. Its capital was initially Ahsanabad (Gulbarga), later moved to Muhammadabad (Bidar). Notable for Indo-Islamic architecture, including the Gol Gumbaz, it fostered Persianate culture. The kingdom fragmented into five Deccan Sultanates, influencing the region's history.
