This is the only that I found in english.... There was also an iranian ref in television but I couldn't download.

In 1354, the Turkic king Feruz Shah Tuglak (1351 - 1388) founded the fifth city of Delhi - Feruzabad or Kotla Feruz Shah on the bank of the Djamna river. In 1399, Amir Temur visited Feruzabad. In the far south of India this event inspired sultan Feruz Shah Bahmani (reigned in 1397 - 1422) to build his own Feruzabad in 1399 - 1406. The city is also situated on the bank. Quarter plan and two main streets crossing perpendicularly came from the plan of Herat, the cultural capital of the Temurids. However, unlike Herat where a citadel was located on the north and unlike Feruzabad-Delhi with a citadel in the west, in this case a citadel was located in the west after Bukhara. "A model of this city is closer to the Temurid traditions of Central Asia than to Muslim city planning of the subcontinent. By these Temurid reminiscences the ruling dynasty of Bahmani demonstrated its orientation to politically important native land of the Muslim tradition. Spiritual teachers and educated people, migrating from Iran and Central Asia, probably, brought with them the concepts of city planning to Deccan" (8, p. 89).

South-westward from Feruzabad is situated Bijapur (City of Victory, or City of Knowledge).

It's in south-central Iran. The name can be spelled several ways, since it's a Farsi word and the way we spell it depends on how we transliterate the Farsi.
