Subsequently, with the disintegration of the Bahmani Kingdom in the early 16th century, Sultan Quli assumed virtual independence. Thus he founded the Qutb Shahi dynasty that lasted from 1518 right upto 1687, when AurangzebÂ’s armies swept the Deccan.
Qutb Shahi dynasty spanned 171 years in the history of South India. The eight kings of this royal lineage have left a firm impression of their strong personalities upon the land and its people.
