Ibrahim Lodi's Tomb, Historical tomb in Panipat, India.
Ibrahim Lodi's tomb is a rectangular structure built on a double-terraced platform accessed by stone steps and constructed with traditional brick in the Mughal style. The design features simple lines and elements typical of early Mughal funerary architecture.
The tomb was built after Ibrahim Lodi, the last Sultan of Delhi, fell in the Battle of Panipat in 1526, ending his reign. This battle brought the Mughal dynasty to power and transformed India's political landscape.
The tomb stands near a Sufi shrine and forms part of a cluster of monuments reflecting different periods of Indian history. Visitors can see how various faiths and ruling periods coexist in this sacred landscape.
The monument is located near the town administration office in Panipat and remains open to visitors during daylight hours. Local authorities maintain the site regularly, keeping the pathways and structure in accessible condition.
In 1867, British administrators commissioned a reconstruction of the monument and added an inscription carved into a niche near the grave. This marker remains visible today, recording when the memorial was restored during colonial times.
