  • The Sultanate was ruled over by five unrelated dynasties while the Mughal Empire was ruled only by one dynasty.
  • The Mughal rule has had a greater cultural impact on India, mainly because more information about the Mughals is available. Of course, there are texts available from the time of the Delhi Sultanate, but nobody bothers to read those.

Hi
The first major difference between the two is the aesthetics of the buildings, starting from the stone used in construction.

Delhi sultanate used the local stones, mostly from nearby Aravalli?s,. the Mughals were partial to Red Sandstone, hence the Mughal forts, and buildings look more beautiful (Humayun? s Tomb, Red Fort both in Delhi and Agra).
