The '''Tomb of Ibrahim Lodi''' in [[Panipat]] ([[Haryana]], [[India]]) is the tomb of [[Ibrahim Lodi]], [[Sultan]] of the [[Lodi dynasty]].

==Tomb==
Ibrahim Lodi's tomb is often mistaken to be the ''[[Shisha Gumbad]]'' within [[Lodi Gardens]] [[Delhi]]. Rather Ibrahim Lodi's tomb is actually situated near the [[tehsil]] office in [[Panipat]], close to the [[Dargah]] of Sufi saint [[Bu Ali Shah Qalandar]].<ref name=IL1/><ref name=IL2/><ref name=IL3/> It is a simple rectangular structure on a high platform approached by a flight of steps.<ref name=IL1/><ref name=IL2/><ref name=IL3/>

==History==
[[File:Sultan-Ibrahim-Lodhi.jpg|thumb|left|Ibrahim Lodi]]
Ibrahim Lodi became the [[Sultan]] of [[Delhi Sultanate|Delhi]] in 1517 after the death of his father [[Sikandar Lodi|Sikandar]]. He was the last ruler of the [[Lodi dynasty]], reigning for nine years between 1517 until being defeated and killed at the [[Battle of Panipat (1526)|battle of Panipat]] by [[Babur]]'s invading army in 1526, giving way to the emergence of the [[Mughal Empire]] in India.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://persian.packhum.org/persian/pf?file=03601021&ct=98 |title=SULṬĀN ĪBRAHĪM BIN SULṬĀN SIKANDAR LODĪ |work=The Muntakhabu-’rūkh by ‘Abdu-’l-Qādir Ibn-i-Mulūk Shāh, known as [[Al-Badauni|Al-Badāoni]], translated from the original Persian and edited by George S.

Ibrahim was an ethnic [[Pashtuns|Pashtun]]. He attained the throne upon the death of his father, Sikandar, but was not blessed with the same ruling capability. He faced a number of rebellions. The [[Mewar]] ruler [[Rana Sangram Singh]] extended his empire right up to western [[Uttar Pradesh]] and threatened to attack [[Agra]]. There was rebellion in the East also. Ibrahim Lodi also displeased the nobility when he replaced old and senior commanders by younger ones who were loyal to him. His Afghan nobility eventually invited [[Babur]] to invade India.

In 1526, the Mughal forces of Babur, the king of Kabulistan (Kabul, Afghanistan), defeated Ibrahim's much larger army in the [[Battle of Panipat (1526)|Battle of Panipat]]. Ibrahim was killed during the battle at [[Panipat]] and his tomb now lies there. It is estimated that Babur's forces numbered around 25,000–30,000 men and had between 20 and 24 pieces of field artillery. Ibrahim Lodi had around 30,000–40,000 men along with at least 100 elephants. After the end of Lodi dynasty, the era of Mughal rule commenced.<ref>Davis, Paul K. (1999), ''100 Decisive Battles: From Ancient Times to the Present'', Oxford University Press, p181.</ref>

==Restoration and relocation==
In 1866, the British relocated the tomb during construction of the [[Grand Trunk Road]] and renovated it with an inscription highlighting Ibrahim Lodi's death in the Battle of Panipat.<ref name=IL1>[http://www.haryana-online.com/tomb_of_ibrahim_lodhi.htm Tomb of Ibrahim Lodi] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080514085608/http://haryana-online.com/tomb_of_ibrahim_lodhi.htm |date=14 May 2008 }}</ref><ref name=IL2>[http://www.india9.com/i9show/Ibrahim-Lodhi%27s-Tomb-14121.htm Ibrahim Lodi's Tomb]</ref><ref name=IL3>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100314040211/http://www.hindu.com/mp/2005/07/04/stories/2005070400980200.htm The tale of the missing Lodi tomb] [[The Hindu]], Jul 04, 2005.</ref>

Another memorial of some kind, however, appears to have existed which used to form a place of pilgrimage for the people of Gwalior since Vikramaditya the last Raja of the old dynasty of [[Gwalior]], fell in the same battle. This memorial, according to [[Alexander Cunningham]], was destroyed when the [[Grand Trunk Road]] was made.
