Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq (Persian: غیاث الدین تغلق), or Ghazi Malik[a] (غازی ملک; died 1 February 1325[5]) was the Sultan of Delhi from 1320 to 1325. He was the first sultan of the Tughluq dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate. During his reign, Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq founded the city of Tughluqabad. His reign ending upon his death in 1325 when a pavilion built in his honour collapsed. The 14th century historian Ibn Battuta claimed that the death of the sultan was the result of a conspiracy against him.[4]
