History · Deccan Sultanate Architecture
Consider the following statements regarding the Bahmani and Deccan Sultanate architecture: 1. The Bahmani kingdom's first capital was Gulbarga (Ahsanabad), where the Jami Masjid (1367) is unique for having its ENTIRE prayer-hall covered with domes rather than an open courtyard. 2. The capital was shifted from Gulbarga to Bidar by Ahmad Shah Wali Bahmani in c. 1419–20. 3. The Madrasa of Mahmud Gawan at Bidar (1472) exhibits strong Timurid-Persian influence including coloured tile-work (kashi) and an iwan-based plan. 4. The tomb complex of the Bahmani Sultans at Ashtur (near Bidar) includes the tomb of Ahmad Shah I with painted frescoes — a rare feature in Sultanate funerary architecture. Which of the above statements are correct?
