Description
- The Delhi Sultanate (1206–1526) was a succession of five Muslim dynasties — Mamluk, Khalji, Tughlaq, Sayyid, and Lodi — that ruled much of the Indian subcontinent before the Mughals
- Construction: a green field with an off-centre black vertical stripe; this is the depiction in the Catalan Atlas (1375) representing the "lord of Delli"
- Different dynasties within the Sultanate used different banners, including plain black (Mamluk) and green with Arabic inscription (later periods)
Trivia
- At its height under the Tughlaqs, the Sultanate briefly controlled most of South Asia
- The Qutub Minar in Delhi was begun by Qutb ud-Din Aibak, founder of the first (Mamluk) dynasty
- The Sultanate collapsed when Babur won at Panipat in 1526, founding the Mughal Empire
