After the decline of Balban’s dynasty, Jalaluddin Firoz Khalji emerged as the new ruler of Delhi. He was crowned in the palace of Kilokhari (Kailuugarhi), a significant administrative and military center. Choosing Kilokhari as his capital served both symbolic and practical objectives. First, it highlighted a break from previous dynasties and the beginning of Khalji power. Second, it provided a secure base for consolidating authority and governing effectively. Jalaluddin’s coronation at Kilokhari represented the transition from the Slave dynasty to the Khalji dynasty, marking a new phase in the political history of the Delhi Sultanate.
