The First Battle of Panipat took place on April 20, 1526, marking a significant event in Indian history. It was fought between the forces of Ibrahim Lodi, the Sultan of Delhi, and Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire. Babur's army, equipped with advanced artillery, faced Lodi's larger but less organized forces. The battle resulted in a decisive victory for Babur, leading to the end of the Lodi dynasty and the establishment of Mughal rule in India. This victory laid the foundation for a new era of governance and cultural development in the region, significantly influencing the subcontinent's history.
