The Deccan sultanates were five early modern kingdoms (Bijapur, Golkonda, Ahmadnagar, Bidar, and Berar) which ruled on the Deccan Plateau beginning in the late 15th century and lasting through the 17th century. The architecture the sultanates produced was a regional variant of Indo-Islamic architecture, influenced by the styles of the Delhi Sultanate and later Mughal architecture. Persian and Central Asian design features also feature in some structures. The sultanate styles differ greatly from those employed in Hindu temple architecture in the same areas. The rulers of the five Deccan sultanates established numerous contributions in the arts, music, literature and architecture. The Bidar and Golconda forts demonstrate how architecture factored into the military planning of the sultanates. Apart from forts, these regimes also constructed many tombs, mosques, and madrasas. Gol Gumbaz (the tomb of Mohammed Adil Shah) was once the second largest dome in the world. In 2014, UNESCO designated a group of buildings as tentative World Heritage Sites under the name "Monuments and Forts of the Deccan Sultanate" (despite there being multiple sultanates), which included the Bahmani and Barid Shahi Monuments at Bidar (Karnataka), the Adil Shahi Monuments at Bijapur (Karnataka), and Qutb Shahi Monuments at Hyderabad (Telangana).
