        abstract = {This paper examines the development and relevance of costume design under the Tughlaq Dynasty (1320 1414), a crucial juncture in Indian history characterized by changes in architecture, politics, and culture. The study looks at how the Tughlaq court's unique fashion practices reflected its imperial beauty, drawing on historical documents, architectural analyses, and literary sources. The article describes clothing, accessories, headwear, and footwear for men, women, and children, emphasizing the combination of Indian, Persian, and Central Asian styles. Clothes ranging from functional clothing for the common public to lavishly decorated clothes for aristocracy and royalty were made from materials including silk, brocade, and cotton. Particular focus is placed on ceremonial regalia, jewelry, and military clothing that represented prestige and authority.  Furthermore, the paper examines the architectural patronage of the Tughlaqs and the diversity of their religious practices, positioning costume as an essential element of identity and imperial power. In conclusion, the research highlights how fashion during the Tughlaq period functioned as both a cultural artifact and a mirror of the sociopolitical environment of medieval India.},
