Sultanate architecture refers to the architectural style that developed during the Delhi Sultanate period in India between the 13th and 16th centuries. It emerged as a synthesis of Indo-Islamic traditions, blending Persian, Arabic, and Central Asian architectural features with indigenous Indian styles. The main elements of this architecture reflect both structural innovation and ornamental richness. One of the most prominent elements is the use of arches and domes. The introduction of the pointed arch (also called the ogival arch) and the true dome marked a significant departure from the earlier trabeate system of construction used in Hindu architecture. The domes were often supported by squinches and pendentives, allowing for large and spacious halls. These features were seen in structures like the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque and Alai Darwaza. Another key element is the use of minarets. Minarets
