Which of the following Bahmani Sultans shifted the capital from Gulbarga to Bidar and patronized the famous Persian poet and merchant Mahmud Gawan?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Ahmad Shah I Wali shifted the Bahmani Sultanate capital from Gulbarga to Bidar in the year 1425 to take advantage of better strategic and climatic conditions. While founding rulers like Ala-ud-din Hasan established the capital at Gulbarga, later monarchs relocated administrative centers, with Mahmud Gawan serving as a celebrated prime minister rather than a reigning sultan.
