The Lodi dynasty was an Afghan dynasty that ruled the Delhi Sultanate from 1451 to 1526. It was the last dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate and was founded by Bahlul Lodi.
History[edit | edit source]
The Lodi dynasty was established by Bahlul Lodi in 1451 after the decline of the Sayyid dynasty. Bahlul Lodi was a Pashtun noble who took control of the throne of Delhi and established his rule. He was succeeded by his son, Sikandar Lodi, who expanded the territory of the dynasty and made significant administrative reforms.
Sikandar Lodi was known for his efforts to consolidate the sultanate and improve its administration. He founded the city of Agra in 1504, which later became an important center of the Mughal Empire. Sikandar Lodi was also a patron of Persian literature and Islamic architecture.
The last ruler of the Lodi dynasty was Ibrahim Lodi, who faced internal rebellions and external threats. His reign ended with the defeat at the Battle of Panipat in 1526, where he was defeated by Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire. This battle marked the end of the Lodi dynasty and the beginning of Mughal rule in India.

Legacy[edit | edit source]
The Lodi dynasty is remembered for its contributions to the cultural and architectural heritage of India. The Lodi Gardens in Delhi, which house the tombs of several Lodi rulers, are a testament to their architectural achievements. The dynasty also played a crucial role in the transition from the Delhi Sultanate to the Mughal Empire.
