Grave of Ibrahim Lodhi
The tomb is situated near a Tehsil Office at
Panipat. Ibrahim Lodhi fought fiercely with his
uncle Babur, in the battle known to us today as the
"First Battle of Panipat" and was slain and buried
at this place. It was one of Sher Shah Suri’s dying
regret that he could never fulfill his intention of
erecting a tomb to the fallem monarch. Much later,
the British erected a plain plateform over the
place, with a short Urdu Insscription on it.
Another memorial of some kind, however, appears to
have existed which used to formm a place of
pilgrimage for the people of Gwalior since
Vikramaditya the last Raja of the old Towrebs
dyansty of Gwalior, fell in the same battle. This
memorial, according to general Cunningham, was
destroyed when the Grand Trunk Road was made.
Hemu's Samadhi Sthal
After Hemu's beheading at the Camp of Akbar at
Saundhapur on Jind Road at Panipat, his head was
sent to Kabul to be hanged outside the 'Delhi
Darwaza' and his torso was hanged on a gibbet
outside Purana Quila in Delhi to terrorise locals.
After few years Hemu's supporters, constructed a
Samadhi over the place where he was beheaded. The
place and its surroundings are slowly encroached
upon by local people. This is the only memorial of
Hemu in Panipat, but in bad condition.
Kabuli Bagh
The garden of Kabuli Bagh along with a mosque and a
tank was built by Babur after the First battle to
commemorate his victory over Ibrahim Lodhi. Some
years later when Humayun defeated Salem Shah near
Panipat, he added a masonry Platform to it and
called it ‘Chabutra" Fateh Mubarak, bearing the
inspription 934 Hijri (A.D.1557). These buildings
and the garden still exist under the name of Kabuli
Bagh called so after Babur’s wife – Mussammat Kabuli
begum.
Devi Temple
A temple dedicated to local deity exists on the bank
of a large tank. A Shiva temple believed to have
been built by a Maratha named Mangal Raghunath who
had remained in Panipat after the battle, also
exists besides it.
Kala Amb
According to the tradition, the site 8 Kilometers
from Panipat and 42 Kilometers from Karnal, where
Sadashiv Rao Bhau commanded his maratha forces
during the third battle of Panipat was marked by a
black Mango Tree (Kala Amb) which has since
disappeared. The dark colour of its foliage was
probably the origin of the name. The site has a
brick Pillar with an iron rod and the structure is
surrounded by an iron fence.The site is being
developed and beautified by a society with Governor,
Haryana as its President.
