لودھی (Lodi) refers to a prominent dynasty that ruled parts of the Indian subcontinent during the 15th and 16th centuries. The dynasty was founded by Bahlul Lodi in 1451 and is known for its significant contributions to the region's architecture and culture. The Lodi rulers were of Afghan origin and played a crucial role in the transition from the Delhi Sultanate to the Mughal Empire. The Lodi dynasty is particularly noted for its architectural achievements, including the construction of several tombs and mosques in Delhi and Punjab. The most famous structure is the Lodi Gardens, which houses the tombs of various Lodi rulers and serves as a popular recreational area today.
